hahaha …. apple fanboys you better get used to this…. it’s the drawbacks of being mainstream … Until last year nobody really cared about MacOS, but…. being mainstream now and with teenagers having lots of spare time to write malicious stuff things are changing to worse.

And the attitude of tech-ignorant fanboys “Apple stuff is not affected by viruses” doesn’t help at all. As a security consultant I freak out whenever I see these kinds of statements everywhere.

All u ppl saying that Apple should press charges shouldn’t be on this page because Apple should press charges on u 2 for jailbreaking ur iPhone right? Because this is what ur asking for! If u can’t make an informed post… Don’t post anything!

Well put Fred, I don’t think many people look at things from the perspective you came from often enough.

Just because he can do it really doesn’t give him the right to. Apple should press charges. Yeah, he found out how to do it and showed apple. He didn’t have to show other people, and he didn’t have to unleash the virus.

You really have no idea what you’re talking about DanTheMan. Companies like Apple drag their feet with releasing important patches like these because they view them as low priority. How long did it take for them to block the Palm Pre from syncing with iTunes? A week or two at most?

Miller told them about the SMS problem almost two months ago and they still haven’t done anything about it. By providing information on the exploit it will FORCE Apple to release a patch.

This is how the tech industry works, why? Because it’s how to get these huge companies to actually fix their broken shit.
