Mac OS - The easiest to hack?

Ok, time to take an interest in what dave is saying!

What's a crossover?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Does it really matter if it was Safari? Safari gets shipped with every copy of OSX and if they found an exploit in safari then really they could get access to alot of machines if it wasn't patched (thank god it was patched quickly).

Anything complex is hackable some way or another. You just need people with motivation to do it. Many people would rather hack Windows than Macs because there are more Windows users. Many Mac users run without antiviruses etc.

Obviously there is more Windows user. But the hacker must be really bored.

Yeah and I'm one of them. Yeah I'm glad it was patched quickly as it was

Crossover is just a way of directly connecting two computers together using a crossover cable from one ethernet port to the other.

That is pretty impressive. I have heard MAC is very hard to hack into, I guess they were proven wrong.

You've probably heard that its very hard to pick up viruses on a Mac.. and that's true.

Anyone can hack into any operating system if they know what they're doing.

Is this the same competition where Linux and Vista haven't been hacked into yet in the same way as the Mac, or did I mis-read the other thread?

Vista got hacked through a flash exploit
