| 690735 | 2008-07-21 03:40:00 | From one of the links in the article. But as the platform becomes more and more popular, hackers are gearing up to do damage. You’d better protect yourself. “Most Mac users take security too lightly. In fact, most are quite proud of the fact that they don’t run any security at all,” says IDC analyst Chris Christiansen. “That’s an open door; at some point it will be exploited. Apple has better commercials, but the Mac is no harder to break into than a Windows PC,” says Gartner security analyst John Pescatore. What’s more, most IT shops can automatically patch large numbers of PCs at the same time, while Macs generally have to be patched one at a time, he said. Its the old story, nothing is really safe, prevention is always better than cure. |

| 690740 | 2008-07-21 03:51:00 | calm down guys, no real reason to start threads like this, other than to rile up other members. A Mac vs PC thread? Really? Is that the most original thing you guys could think of? Go get a nice cup of tea or coffee, take some deep breaths and chill out for a bit. Then come back here with constructive, informative and fun threads, instead of just attacking the broadest target out there. :thanks |
