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.

Re: Re: Mac OS X security under scrutiny Simpsons Worm 2005-12-01
Pual
Tadaaa.... maybe. Googled for Simpsons worm and founde:

Year: 2001

macOS 9.0 or higher. Hmm.. that's the Classic OS, Not OS X

Guess what was being used to get it working? Correct MICROSOFT Outlook Express 5.02 or better. And MICROSOFT Visual Basic was needed to get it working.

So, again, it's really a M$ virus all over again.

You're not using Outlook or Entourage? And it's not even on your system? Hmm.. you're trouble-free once again.

So my dearest Matthew.. make sure you check your facts before posting bullshit.
