Intego's "Year In Mac Security" Report 132

Posted by kdawson from the almost-popular-enough dept.
david.emery notes the release of Intego's "Year In Mac Security" report (PDF), adding: "Mac OS X and iPhones that haven't been jailbroken fare pretty well (although vulnerabilities exist, there's not been a lot of exploitation). Apple does come in for criticism for 'time to fix' known vulnerabilities. Jailbroken iPhones are a mess. The biggest risk to Macs are Trojan horses, often from pirated software."

Any Unix/Linux/BSD administrator knows the power at your fingertips is fully extended by what you can do within the Bash environment, and all of us need the best recipes to get the job done." Keep reading for the rest of Chad's review.

Now, I'll confess that this attitude has been diminishing as Linux eeks its way into the mainstream.

Now, what you call diminishing, I call distinguishing.

One should always understand his very nature, and going against it is always a bad mistake in the long run. That is, of course, provided that it's a good nature, and I guess that's the point in case here.
