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.
Researchers have shown how to exploit a flaw within QuickTime, allowing an attacker to make money stealing from innocent Second Life victims.
Apple's OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems are to be pitted against each other in an ethical hacking contest in Vancouver next month.
Apple on Tuesday released a QuickTime update to fix a security flaw that was used to breach a MacBook Pro at a recent security conference.
"Macs are as easy to hack as they are to use", according to researcher Charles Miller.
