A Mac OS X hacker challenge apparently got a systems engineer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison into trouble with university administrators.
A university systems engineer in Wisconsin is giving hackers until Friday to break into his Mac.
An unpublished security vulnerability in Apple's OS X operating system which first came to light after a hacking competition has sparked concern in the user community.
With exploit code for an OS X vulnerability released last week and a compromised Australian university Mac server caught hosting malware in August, it may be time Apple admitted its platform is no more secure than any other.
An Apple Computer patch released last week doesn't completely fix a high-profile Mac OS X flaw, leaving a toehold for cyberattacks, experts said.
The new and improved Mac hack competition, which was set up by an Apple systems engineer at the University of Wisconsin in response to a ZDNet Australia story shut down early because the university's CIO was concerned about "security and network access".
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.
By making coding flaws public, are security researchers exposing users to unnecessary risk? Some believe only full disclosure keeps vendors honest. Flaw finders, however, disagree.
