Spurred by a content with a $10,000 prize, a hacker broke into a Mac at the CanSecWest security conference in Canada. We Mac users have long bragged about how we don’t need virus software, but experts have been warning more and more that even a Mac needs protection.
The hacker got in via a wireless connection.
“You see a lot of people running OS X saying it’s so secure and frankly Microsoft is putting more work into security than Apple has,” said conference organizer Dragos Ruiu.
The BBC has an overview of Mac vulnerabilities. Also see this list of virus protection programs for the Mac.
