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.
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.
"Macs are as easy to hack as they are to use", according to researcher Charles Miller.
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.
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.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
With Apple's impressive record on security, few people seem to be questioning how the iPhone will perform.
For those keen to get their hands on Apple's newest must-have toy, but without ditching their existing phone, the iPod Touch is looking like a better proposition than an iPhone. Here's why.
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.
If the Touch is the player that you want, that you really, really want, you've probably got one already. Fence-sitters should stay there until next year when third-party apps or version 2.0 comes out.
Along with the new Tiger OS, the iMac G5 gets more muscle beneath its sleek exterior, making the all-in-one desktop a stronger performer and a better deal.
