Whatever the real facts are, it's the perception that counts. And in many people's minds there's a perception of equivalence.


According to a report out today, the top trends in Internet security are:

1. Mac's OS/X operating system is no longer the "bulletproof alternative" to Windows.

2. There has been a "substantial decline" in vulnerabilities in Windows Services.

3. Internet Explorer continues to be vulnerable to attacks.

4. Firefox and Mozilla browsers also are vulnerable.

5. There has been a surge in profit-motivated attacks.

We will hear more of this when the report is released later today, I'm sure of that.

I thought all these 'news sources' broke this when it was new. Are they just rehashing the same old crap? You really can not respect the information we get from these places any more. It's just run through a machine and spread all over. What are you gonna do?:rolleyes:
