Gone in 2 Minutes: Mac Gets Hacked First in Contest

[Aldayne]

It may be the quickest $10,000 Charlie Miller ever earned.

He took the first of three laptop computers -- and a $10,000 cash prize -- Thursday after breaking into a MacBook Air at the CanSecWest security conference's PWN 2 OWN hacking contest.

Oh well, i thought (like most of you do) that the vista machine would be first to go.

hmmm the only reason mac's have less viruses is simply because less people use them that's all. Nothing is unbreakable

I googled Charlie Miller and saw he is an Apple Certified Trainer? What did they expect would happen?

Hey if I teach people how to install car alarms, I should know the best ways to override the frequencies and shut them off without the remote.

Don't make excuses, the fun thing about this is that ALL systems are insecure, and just like we M$ users are smart enought to know Gates and Co. chatting **** bout security, Apple fanatics think Jobs speaketh only truth and OSX is the greatest most secure thing in the Universe.

Both Jobs and Gates are evangelists for their products, and just like religion SMART people seperate the wheat from the chaff and don't blindly swallow every peice of crap spouted like it is absolute truth.

It is just as bad as Linux people claiming linux is better than everything else, it AINT. It has its place, as do most things in the industry. Still don't know what place those "3D" Integrated video chipsets from Intel serve though...

Any jack A S S who believes that there is a totally secure OS, shall forever be a jack A S S .... because no such thing exists....not Windows, OS-X, Linux....none of them...
