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.
Software engineer Shane Macaulay hacked into a MacBook through a zero-day security hole in Apple's Safari browser, winning a free laptop in the process. The computer was one of two offered as a prize in the "PWN to Own" hack-a-Mac contest at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Canada.
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'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 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.
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.

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.
On Saturday 15th November, Sydneysiders converged on the University of NSW for the city's fourth self-organised BarCamp unconference. From PHP hacking to OLPC laptops, Google Android and even hypnotism, BarCamp had it all.
Apple gives the people what they want: Windows on Macs. Geeks proved it could be done through a variety of complicated hacks and now Apple makes it a breeze with a free download. We take Boot Camp for a test run.
