Apple has released another round of security patches for its Web browser this week, targeting a vulnerability which allowed a Macbook air to be hacked and two deficiencies in the Windows-only version of the software.
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.
The security hole used to breach a MacBook in a hack-a-Mac competition last week lies in Apple's QuickTime media player, the flaw finder said on Tuesday.
"Macs are as easy to hack as they are to use", according to researcher Charles Miller.
US security consultant, Rick Farrow, has used H D Moore's security testing tool, Metasploit, to crack the iPhone, which allows a hacker to do anything the iPhone user can, but remotely.
A "jailbreak" Web site created earlier this week is already attracting hordes of iPhone and iPod Touch users who want to free their devices from the digital shackles attached by Jobs and co.
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.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Malicious attacks now come cloaked in messages that appear to have been sent by a known instant messaging contact -- even more reason to be wary.
