PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-big-surprise-here dept.

Suki writes "In this recent story a PC Mag writer concludes that "Panther and Jaguar were not better at outrunning vulnerabilities than Windows" and as my personal fav. ends by asking "How cocky are you feeling now, Mac elite? Hmm. Suddenly it's gotten pretty quiet around here." The article discusses many previous Windows security holes against a recent Mac OS X security flaw."

    Double edged sword there. As it's less popular, less apps run on it. Also less viruses though. Depends which is more important.
