Mac OS X security under scrutiny
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2005-11-29

When the SANS Institute, a computer-security training organization, released its Top-20 vulnerabilities last week, the rankings continued an annual ritual aimed at highlighting the worst flaws for network administrators. This year, the list had something different, however: The group flagged the collective vulnerabilities in Apple Computer's Mac OS X operating system as a major threat.

"A lot of the people who do vulnerability research started with Unix, and a lot of hackers have moved to Apple Mac OS X because it is cool and they can do anything they could do on Unix,"

This has to be by far the most stupid thing I've heard someone say. I'm sure, almost positive that the reason hackers moved to Mac OS X was just because it was easy. Why Spend day after day researching an OS unix based or not, if it's tough, usually "hackers" will move on to something a little more easy. This is my opinion, and I hope that I never hear something so stupid in my time, though I'm sure I will.
