Anyone who thinks the OS their running is impervious is naive or a fool. Hang in there, 'fun' is coming to 'MacWorld' unless Apple has fixed/is fixing their updating mechanism: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1576 <span style="color:blue"><span style="color:green"> >> A security research outfit in Argentina has released a malcode distribution toolkit capable of >> launching man-in-the-middle attacks against popular products that use insecure update mechanisms. >> The toolkit, called Evilgrade, works in conjunction with man-in-the-middle techniques (DNS, ARP and >> DHCP spoofing) to exploit a wide range of applications, according to a post on the Metasploit blog. >> >> The first version of the toolkit ships with exploit modules for several widely deployed software, >> including Apple’s Mac OS X and iTunes, WinZip, Winamp, OpenOffice and Sun Java.</span></span> Since Apple's first update for the DNS issue was, to put it kindly, a dismal failure, they had to release another one. Let's see how they do with their updating mechanism. MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== -343- FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Quote
