Many PC users aren't as cautious as you'd like to give them credit for.<br /><br />And PWN2OWN is all about proofs of concept and has zero relationship to reality for the average user, But haters like to bandy it about as if it actually proved something.<br /><br />Let's wait to see if this latest Mac exploit amounts to anything. If it does, you can say "I told you so", and I'll admit I was wrong. But I think we both know it will go nowhere.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107301106676015736.post-23211997025972385502012-02-26T00:02:47.188-05:002012-02-26T00:02:47.188-05:00Well, most PC users are VASTLY more prepared for i...Well, most PC users are VASTLY more prepared for it, therefore VASTLY less likely to get infected and harder to hack.

Let me know when this "affects a lot of Mac users". <br /><br />If it's anything like past scares, few will be affected before Apple releases a security update.<br /><br />And those that wind up getting infected are likely the same idiots that obtain illegal downloads and open email enclosures from unknown senders. That's one way to learn a lesson about safe computing, I guess.<br /><br />Say what you will, but PC users are subject to VASTLY more malware attacks than Mac users. And it will remain so for the foreseeable future.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107301106676015736.post-73907881554143185262012-02-24T12:52:03.773-05:002012-02-24T12:52:03.773-05:00Not to start a war here or anything but...
