![]() @Stake issues security advisories for OS X Jaguar: "Security consulting firm, @Stake issued three security advisories for Apple's Mac OS X operating system late last night. The advisories affect Mac OS X 10.2.8 and lower and do not appear to affect the company's recently released Panther operating system. In fact, @Stake is recommending users upgrade to Panther as a fix for the problems." [MacCentral] It is interesting to note that @Stake recently fired their Technology Director for co-writing the widely cited white paper Cyber Insecurity: The Cost of Monopoly. It was said that @Stake has done software evaluation research for Microsoft, which may have influenced the firing. I understand that these Mac OS X advisories are rather speculative in nature. Seeing the first Mac OS X worm or virus might not be too far in the future, though. But we'll see. We have been waiting for the first virus to appear for several years now.
