Comments on: Attack code out for Apple flaw

Exploit comes only a day after Apple released a patch for the bug. Plus: iTunes update plugs a security hole.

Nothing to see here but poor jouralism

First, this "proof of concept" is for a Trojan, not a virus. Second,
there is no attack code in the wild. Third, even if it got into the
wild, it would have a great deal of trouble spreading.

Once again, CNET foists a hoax on Mac users. I'm guessing CNET
editors have lots of Symantec stock they're trying to shore up.

haha! that's right:D

Mac's are for people who hate learning
I own a mac... I hate the bageezuz out of it...
It doesn't let me do anything I want to do, I find the interface is too awkward and to top it off the original aqua theme is ugly.
heck... I like Damn Small linux more than a mac
and this exploit is indeed proof that apple isn't unbreakable
I've been waiting for a story like this to come out for a while now...
give... there is no exploit now. But this will put more eyes on apple and give hackers and other malwareitious people more incentive to code for the apple's destruction.
Mark my words... there will be a big one.
I expect replies
hold nothing back mac fans:D
