No operating system is completely immune to security threats, and that includes Apple's OS X.

is out there and here comes Zos from IBM
but for mainframes only , but from what I
hear could(probably) be a perfect OS from a
security point of view.Hacking days are over
people.Trying to get root on an OpenBSD system is very far from easy not to mention
the fact that you have to get a regular account first.
You're gonna say no box is unbreakable.
Sure!!Try breaking an OpenBSD with a proper
firewall in place and all the ports behind that closed and we'll have a beer on me.
Sure maybe it can be broken by someother means but how many guys in the world can even do TCP nr. sq. prediction or some other funny
stuff these days?Of course servers can be broken that offer some service but with a
watchfull eye on it I doubt that very much.
Yes, it's true hacking days are over!
Every now and then comes a new 2.X.X kernel
exploit but these days people keep up with the patches and how long do you think you'll live in there before you get caught?
