Zeus_Hunt Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 A few years ago, one of the biggest weapons in a Mac user’s arsenal for any Windows vs OS X debate was that Apple’s operating system was more secure than Microsoft’s. However, the statistics compiled by ZDNet (which are shown in the table below) tell a very different story for this year. Combined, Windows XP and Vista saw a total of 44 flaws, whilst Max OS X experienced 243 – over five times more. Overall, Macs had 234 highly critical vulnerabilities compared to just 23 for Windows, although admittedly Mac OS X had no extremely critical flaws, whilst Windows had four. This would seem to suggest that the tables have turned a little, which could well be linked to the fact that Macs have become more popular over the last couple of years and as a result there is a greater incentive to hack them.View : Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Hunt Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 OS X holes are there, but without any malicious code to exploit them, the Apple operating system is as safe as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeuZ Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 OS X holes are there, but without any malicious code to exploit them, the Apple operating system is as safe as possible.Well, that will only be that way until some programmers take the detail of the code and produce a massive publishing of it...Also; I'm sure that there are allready tons of exploits dedicated to the system, with a fast search on milw0rm (mods, remove the url if it's infringing something) I found a ton of them with useful material like to exploit them...
