Absolute Security is a Myth

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

openBSD and others are secure, no doubt.
But are they completly? No.
There is no such thing as completly secure, the biggest advantage Zos and OpenBSD have is that they are obscure. Security but Obscurity plays a big part.
Security is about knowing where you are vunerable and preparing for it.
I once heard the CEO of Mastercard commenting on their security and he said "Are we secure?..Yes..Are we invunerable?..Hell No. But we know where we are vunerable and have procedures in place to deal with it."
