The winner of a competition "PWN TO OWN" says the Mac is the easiest OS to hack into out of the 3 most known (linux, Mac, Windows). The winner walked home with $10,000 and the Mac book air which he hacked into within 2 minutes!
Seems pretty interesting but I am sure it will be patched up soon.

It was patched 20 minutes after and also it wasn't OSX that was the exploit it was Crossover that was the exploit door.

That is pretty impressive. I have heard MAC is very hard to hack into, I guess they were proven wrong.
Luck is the only thing that nobody can ask for but everyone can get.

I based my opinion on the article that was posted. I must have misread something, anyhow. I see now that it was not the actual MAC, rather it was a "crossover" as you stated meaning it was from one computer to another. Originally Posted by DaveTaylor

Nothing is unhackable if you know what you are doing.
Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.
