Intego's "Year In Mac Security" Report

Posted by kdawson on from the almost-popular-enough dept.

david.emery notes the release of Intego's "Year In Mac Security" report (PDF), adding: "Mac OS X and iPhones that haven't been jailbroken fare pretty well (although vulnerabilities exist, there's not been a lot of exploitation). Apple does come in for criticism for 'time to fix' known vulnerabilities. Jailbroken iPhones are a mess. The biggest risk to Macs are Trojan horses, often from pirated software."

      for the past several years I've been mailing all my feces to Ron Paul. Every time I defecate, I do so in a zip lock bag, which I then send to Ron Paul's home address via USPS priority mail. Though I always clearly write my name and address on the return portion of the envelope, I have never received a reply, nor have any of my mailings been refused.

      Pics or it didn't happen

    iPhone unlocking has nothing to do with jailbreaking. I unlock my iPhone but I definitely don't jailbreak it (don't want the instability and hassle of dealing with stuff that comes from non-official sources).
