Apple's in the eye of flaw finders
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2006-02-07

At the recent ShmooCon hacking conference, one security researcher found out the hard way that such venues can be hostile, when an unknown hacker took control of the researcher's computer, disabling the firewall and starting up a file server.

One thing we all should remember: Robert Lemos is a hired gun.

He writes a lot for CNET where he's expected to FUD anything ant-Microsoft as much as he can. He's probably written countless sensationalistic articles already about MAJOR FLAWS in OS X when it's only a question as explained in fine fine print far below of a few minor patches in Apache or something like that.

There might be food for thought in this article, but you have to remember who's feeding you.
