Apple Releases Largest OS X Security Update Ever
Permalink   

Apple on Tuesday issued its largest-ever security update, patching 92 vulnerabilities in OS X 10.5 Leopard and OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Last week at the CanSecWest conference, hackers compromised both a non-jailbroken iPhone and Safari on Snow Leopard.

Does this mean the honeymoon is over for Apple's security reputation? Certainly, plenty of folks in the industry are sick of hearing that OS X is more secure than Windows and would love nothing more than to see miscreants treating the operating system like their own personal playground.

Some researchers have even taken matters into their own hands. In 2007, a pair of security researchers launched the Month Of Apple Bugs, a campaign to highlight security flaws in Apple products and chip away at perceptions that Macs are inherently more secure than PCs.
