[highlight]MacBook Security Gone in 60 Seconds

Two security specialists have demonstrated how they could exploit a vulnerability in the code of a MacBook wireless device driver to gain control of the computer, causing a small uproar at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.

At the Black Hat USA conference, two security  researchers demonstrated how easily they could hack into a Mac computer -- in this case Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL)  MacBook -- over a wireless network.

Operating from a nearby laptop, David Maynor, a senior researcher with SecureWorks, and graduate student Jon Ellch took aim at the MacBook's wireless card and wireless device, compromising the computer in about 60 seconds.[/highlight]

I AM SO OVERJOYED!
Someone actually took the time to find out how to hack the Apple computer!

Myth:
Apples are safer on the Internet because they don't get viruses, and because they cannot be hacked into
Why:
No one makes viruses for Macs, or tries to hack into them. So little people own them, that there's just no point.

thats EXACTLY what my theory was too zylstra LOL.

i assumed few people owned a mac so hackers and virus-makers would have to work harder to find a target.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who knows the truth!
