infoterror's Journal: Macintosh

Apple Computer, Inc. was pleased to announced today that with the arrival of two recent worms for the Bluetooth wireless networks on its effete line of compers, the Macintosh, the company has claimed the spotlight previously possessed by larger corporation Microsoft. Known for years as the company with 2% market share that received no viruses because it was easier to find a gay Baptist than a Mac user, Apple feels it has "hit the big time" and the quality of these worms proves it.

"While this particular worm is not fully functional, the source code could be easily modified by a future attacker to do damage," said Vincent Weafer, security director at Symantec anti-virus software labs. Nonetheless, industry observers consider it proof of Apple's ongoing successes, even if it is rumored that the virus writers thought they were hacking an iPod, not a Mac.
