MAC has fallen again

yeah it has happened again.If last year it took few hours for Dino Dai Zovi to get control of MAC this year Charlie Miller did it in just two minutes.Some improvement, huh?

Charlie Miller has broken into a "MacBook Air"(yup the same one "thinnest" and all that...) at the CanSecWest security conference's PWN 2 OWN hacking contest.The security researcher had to work under strict conditions with one of them being "He/she could only take advantage of software that was pre-installed on the Mac" which means the flaw must be of OS itself.He used a flaw in "Safari" by directing the contest organizers to a malicious wab page that contained a script written by him.
Last year's winner Dino Dai Zovi exploited a vulnerability in QuickTime to take control of the machine.
At the same time the researchers were not able to hack into Vista computers(Ok leave it for some kid...) under strict conditions for third party applications.
So in short it means that Out of the box(no third party apps.) Vista is more secure than Mac.
The rules were to be eased on Friday so the exact standings of both the operating systems will be out today as with third party apps. machine will have more bugs that can be exploited.

PS:
Mighty Apple engineers are working to release the patch.
