That's a theoretical hack. Even an existing software thing. But did it impact thousands to hundreds of thousands of people as a worm was actively spread through the internet to take advantage of these problems and i.e. create a big botnet of macs, or encrypt people's disks and then ransom their data, or just download horse porn, or whatever windows worms have been up to? That's what I was referring to. Something that makes a bit of a splash. If this cannot be done because Apple would somehow manage to make macs update in time (i.e. before the worm hits critical mass), then Steve Jobs is effectively right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
