Successful hack Mac!

    In Vancouver, the CanSecWest security exhibition kicked off yesterday. TippingPoint's security specialists came up with an original move. It was exposed 2 MacBook Pro with Mac OS X and all security updates and with access to the global network with a proposal to hack them, that is, to obtain root privileges. The cracker gets the Mac and $ 10,000.

    Yesterday passed without incident, and then the attack_the_browser option was added, that is, they gave the opportunity to "log in" through the URL in Safari (they sent the URL by email). And now the first Mac is hacked! Since you cannot use the same vulnerability 2 times, you can’t use the second MacBook intact.
