MAC FTW

The most popular way malware is delivered now are (wait for it) web browsers... and even Apple has vulnerabilities in their web browsers.

but the malware still won't run, so it's irrelevant.

wrong - iframe vulnerabilites can also be exploited on Intel based macs.

Maybe this will help

I like how she blamed her email being hacked for loosing the presidential race, last time I check she was not running, I never seen her name on the ballad by itself she and we do not vote for a vise president she was just ridding the coat tails....

I glad to see she still has no clue....

Mozilla, not safari.

[335e92tx]

Yes, but malware still can be exploited under safari on Mac OSx

The days of macs not being exploited are in the past.

I read that link. That's not "malware" but there are other kinds exploits for all operating systems.

So we are splitting hairs on what type of unauthorized access someone can get over a machine? Thats dangerous.. there are no definitives - the point is the platform has vulnerabilities that others can exploit. If you wish to maintain that macs don't provide adverse USER symptoms of being infected that might be the case (as of this time) - I don't deal with enough of them to know what a user experience is when they are compromised.

Regardless, the systems can be used in botnets.. so that will make them participants in malware delivery.
Stand on some legacy definition if you wish - I do this for a living so Im pretty familiar with what is the current trend.
