Macs are just as hackable as PCs... And Virus too...

"For a fact, Macs haven’t been targets for hackers and malicious code writers nearly to the degree that Windows machines have historically. One major reason for the same is that fewer Macs are in use, thus making the potential impact of malicious code smaller than on the more widely used PCs."

Haha couldn't resist posting this here. So there is hack the mac competition and somehow apple go and release a security patch just before it and while it does close up some holes, all it took was 9 hours to come out with a 0 day attack on its browser.

So who say only windows and IE7 is prone to attacks. A zero day attack leh. Lols...

Anyway for the non geeks, it basically means that the mac is just as hackable and virus prone as the pc. Just that the so little people use the mac compared to the pc, its not even worth the time and effort for people to even bother about it. If I remember correctly, the competition had to up the prise money than people bothered to join it.

So all in all, next time some show off mac user tells you his or her mac is safer than your pc, ignore that idiot. Cos surely and truely he or she has no brains to even know what he or she is talking about.

Ok back to my assignments and tutorials...

*Clearly you can see some idiot pissed me off again... buts its ok... it means motivation to do better than that idiot and have the last laugh... :D*
