Operating System sebagus Apple Mac OS X sekalipun kalau dipasang software abal-abal ya rusak juga :)
================================================== Apple: The New World Leader in Software Insecurity By Peter Bright, ars technica July 22, 2010 | 11:56 am | Categories: Enterprise On the iPad's release date, April 3, 2010, a line extends around Apple's Fifth Avenue store. Many buyers had camped overnight to stake their spots in line. Apple has displaced Oracle as the company with the most security vulnerabilities in its software, according to security company Secunia. Over the first half of 2010, Apple had more reported flaws than any other vendor. Microsoft retains its third-place spot. Secunia has tracked security vulnerabilities and issues advisories since 2002, producing periodic reports on the state of software. Together, the top 10 vendors account for some 38 percent of all flaws reported. Though this does not necessarily mean that Apple’s software is the most insecure in practice — the report takes no consideration of the severity of the flaws — it points at a growing trend in the world of security flaws: the role of third-party software. Many of Apple’s flaws are not in its operating system, Mac OS X, but rather in software like Safari, QuickTime and iTunes. Vendors like Adobe (with Flash and Adobe Reader) and Oracle (with Java) are similarly responsible for many of the flaws being reported. To illustrate this point, the report includes cumulative figures for the number of vulnerabilities found on a Windows PC with the 50 most widely used programs. Five years ago, there were more first-party flaws (in Windows and Microsoft’s other software) than third-party. Since about 2007, the balance shifted towards third-party programs. This year, third-party flaws are predicted to outnumber first-party flaws by 2 to 1. Secunia also makes a case that effectively updating this third-party software is much harder to do; whereas Microsoft’s Windows Update and Microsoft Update systems will provide protection for around 35 percent of reported vulnerabilities, patching the remainder requires the use of 13 or more updating systems. Some vendors — Apple, Mozilla and Google, for example — do have decent automatic update systems, but others require manual intervention by the user. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/07/apple-the-new-world-leader-in-software-insecurity/ -- ID-ASPINDO: JBR-100505 Software Pulsa Voucha3 Tetap Cepat Di Jam Padat, Comitted to Excellence http://voucha.net - http://www.facebook.com/voucha ------------------------------------ MILIS INI BERSIH DARI MLM, MONEY GAME & SKEMA PIRAMIDA http://infopulsa.com/tata-tertib/ Yahoo!
