    MacOS X double whammy

    I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but it's certainly a bit scary:

    Ok, let me get this right. If I get an email from an unknown source and then I click onto a link to thier website which in turn has some malicious code on it they can contol my computer without my knowledge, I guess that could be classified in the scarry department, especially if they where able to duplicate friends and familys emails.
    If there is a Church of WiFi, then this is it's !

      I read "Mac OS X double whammy" and thought for second that it was kidlinux, back with some out of date information on the OS X worm proof of concept.

      good thing it's just bascule.

        I just found it funny how Apple just disregarded his reponse. I mean, if i were any company that produced an OS, i wouldnt think twice. Hoax or not, you dont want to drop that kind of information.

        Wasnt there in the past some java exploit in IE that did the same thing?


        Thank You
