Malware Evolution: Mac OS X Vulnerabilities 2005-2006 |
|
This article looks at vulnerabilities detected in Mac OS X in the first half of 2006. It compares these vulnerabilities to those detected in the first half of 2005, providing an overview of the evolution of threats targeting this increasingly popular platform. While the author believes that Mac OS X is pretty secure by default, he states that "like any other platform, Mac OS X has software flaws. Such flaws inevitably draw the attention of malicious users, especially if users don't think they need to take action to protect against possible threats." In the meantime, Apple has launched a Bluetooth version of its Mighty Mouse.
