The release of Apple's latest security patches prove conclusively that there's no such thing as an operating system impervious to security risks, especially when it comes to malware.
A blogger claiming to have written a worm -- called Rape.osx -- for Apple Mac OS X has received death threats.
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.
Apple Computer said on Wednesday that it has released a public beta version of Boot Camp, software that enables Microsoft Windows XP to run natively on Intel-based Macs.
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.
The latest Internet Threat Survey from Symantec is a whopping 120 pages and unlike in its previous reports, the company has avoided any mention of malware for Apple's OS X.
Macs are banned from many government departments because there aren't any 'approved' applications to encrypt them. So why doesn't Apple CEO Steve Jobs do something about it?
Apple also used the event to launch its latest bid for storage supremacy: the Time Capsule. For Mac-loving households, this might be good news, but as a business storage solution it leaves a lot to be desired.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
The footage Four Corners displayed of a suspected Melbourne fraudster's house and technology during a police raid last week hardly fits the profile of a master fraudster.
