What, do you think that most viruses are written in an hour? All that the conference shows is that the whole "I'm invulnerable to malware because I have a Mac" notion is completely flawed. Macs are susceptible just like Windows-based computers are. Basically the point is that if you feel secure on your computer, you're wrong. You're never secure. Ever. |
Exactly, I SAID THAT in my post! I said SPECIFICALLY this:
"It literally means nothing; and regardless of that, everybody has always known that the reason Macs don't get viruses is because they're in the minority in terms of market share so nobody writes viruses for them. This is NOT new."
I have a feeling you're not reading anything that I'm writing.
My point is: IT MEANS NOTHING that the Mac was hacked FIRST. The amount of time it takes to execute a virus doesn't have anything to do with anything, if any OS in the world was truly secure there wouldn't be a way for you to exploit it in the first place.
That's like having someone on Linux, Mac OS and Windows produce a song in their respective OS, then load that song into the media player and the first one to play the song WINSSSSSSS.
Who cares!? The point is that the security flaw shouldn't have been there in the first place, not how long it takes to execute it.
The Mac OS currently IS virus free, but not because it's somehow more secure! Its simply because it's the minority platform.

Right, I said that too:
"Exactly, you shouldn't be using a consumer OS if you're really that pathetic at keeping yourself safe online."

Wow. Chill the fuck out I'm not even arguing with you.
