Is MAC OS X the new Hacker Paradise

Posted by geeknews at 3:43 PM on May 20, 2004

It seems hacking Windows and finding holes in it has become about as common place as brushing one’s teeth. I have always supported the notion that the reason Mac Operating Systems rarely have security issues is because their are literally millions upon millions of Windows machines worldwide and they make a easy target. But because MAC’s market share is so significantly smaller they are a smaller target to the hacker community. But with the recent security issue with OS X I am wondering if we are going to start seeing more of these types of reports. Only time will tell. [Information Week]

    Its Mac’s not MAC’s

    MAC would imply it stood for something rather than an abbreviation :)
