Story: Outrage at Symantec's OS X claims
Posted by: Anonymous (Tuesday 22 March 2005, 5:01 PM)
We have had a very involved and expensive security analysis of OSX done by Techdata one of the largest tech consulting firms. They stated that "OS X and it's underlying BSD subsystem are the most secure OS in the world, in wide use." and furthermore "NO known security risk was exploitable save for rootkit access." And that means you must be at the actual machine to do that. So basically they stated in as many words that there was no virus or worm or malware that could be employed in a maliscious way in OS X.
So sysmantec sees an expanding market share coming for os x especially as it moves to intel so they are just doing their marketing.
Shame on them. Boycott them. Let them know we are not as dumb as they think we are! Vote with your wallet.
