Apple Closes iSight Security Hole

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nobody-wants-to-see-me-naked dept.

Gruber Duckie writes "Apple's security update 2006-008, posted yesterday, is a little more interesting than it sounds. According to information (and a demo!) posted at Macslash the "information leak" mentioned in Apple's advisory actually makes it possible for a web site to send whatever your (isight) web cam sees up to the server. I'm glad they fixed this quickly."

    Haha, a security hole in a Mac! Look everyone, they suck like M$!

    Let's make a big deal about it and pretend like whatever operating system we happen to enjoy is perfect.
