There is not time to crash a party than in the begining of itsel…. Coincidence, every major Apple news there is something bad around or Microsoft manages to launch one of its products…. Now it is Leopard and a porno trojan that changes your mac ip address disguised as a codec… only if you let it, everytime a strange application tries to change your mac settings, Mac OS let you know, and only if you accept it as a valid application it proceeds.

We are not talking about Windows, we are talking about your mac security and how people ignore everything about it, the mac security has worked for years and it is almost impossible to execute an application if you don’t permit it manually, you, the owner of the mac, the user, somebody who has the control of the computer, in this case a mac.

So everybody has been talking about how easy is for an internet trojan to runs in mac and they totally forget that (again) for this script/application to run it should be allow to do so… In the end what will really protect you is to think twice about what you do or where you go when you are online.

But please, security in mac works, it is not Windows XP and friends.
