It held out as long as possible, but a Windows Vista laptop fell to a determined bunch of hackers Friday evening at the Pwn to Own contest at CanSecWest.
Apple's Leopard has been hacked within 30 seconds using a flaw in Safari, with rival OSes Ubuntu and Vista so far remaining impenetrable in the CanSecWest PWN to OWN competition.
Apple's OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems are to be pitted against each other in an ethical hacking contest in Vancouver next month.
Ubuntu Linux was the only system left unscathed in a multi-platform hacking competition last week, but does that mean it is more secure?
The scalp of Mac OS X has been waved trophy-like after being hacked in controlled environments, yet security researchers are hard pressed remembering the last time a Mac was compromised in the wild.
I caved in. I had all intentions of pre-emptively spending my $900 government handout on a $700 HP netbook this weekend. But I was pwned by a shiny little MacBook in about the time it took white hat Charlie Miller to hack its upscale brother, the MacBook Air.
