Now before you wave your flags in victory (if you hate Apple) or hiss disapproval (if otherwise), here are some relevent tidbits related to the following video:
- The competition (CanSecWest) was held last February; Apple shouldve closed the hole exploited by now
- The exploit became successful in the second day of competition, which featured a halved $10,000
- Thats because on the first day carrying a $20,000 pot, no one could successfully compromise any system
- Systems available to hack were running: Linux, Mac OS X, Vista
Now you can watch the report here (opens in a new window/tab).
In any case, its probably good news that, despite a $20,000 prize and the attention of some experienced exploiters, no computing system proved relatively easy to compromise. Perhaps this is a reminder to keep our systems running smoothly and practice safe computing habits, to keep the gates secure?
