A close colleague of mine forwarded me an article (in jest – I am the departmental Apple advocate) citing information that a defacement attempt on a website served by a Mac Mini running OS X was successful after around thirty minutes.

Today, his Operating System of Choice should have been patched twice. Once because a logic error permits normal users to execute commands that they are not entitled to, with system-exclusive rights (or as Microsoft put it, default permissions are set by default to a level that may allow a low-privileged user to change properties associated with the service.). Another because six problems were found in the most popular desktop office suite that allowed naferious users to construct an Office or graphics file that allows unauthorised software (spyware, viruses, etc.) to run on a users pc. I can email you a photo that gives me control over your pc!

Yeah, good one.
