Default Mac users - be aware

FUD. Where are the reports of infections?

Eric Stevens:

..."The amusing vulnerability in Apple's OS X that grants
administrator-level access to anyone who asks is being exploited in
the wild by malware. Yeah, malware exists for Macs, this isn't the
1990s.

Anyone logged in to a vulnerable OS X computer, or any software
running on it, can use the security hole to gain the same privileges
as the powerful root user, meaning they can install new programs,
change files, remove or add new users, wreck the system, and so on, at
will.


Ah, requires physical access. I can wreck anything if I have physical
access.
