Story: US Government warns of Apple flaw

Another ZDNET anti-Apple drama...

Time and time again ZDNET, how about a balanced approach for a change?

So you actually have to download and open a corrupt .dmg file? Remember one of the latest updates from Apple disables the 'open'safe' attachments' option by default so the only scenario where this could be exploited would be:

1: The user re-enables the 'safe attachemnts' option
2: The user downloads a crafted .dmg file

Hardly a remotely exploitable flaw, how about a fair and balanced comparison between the ongoing windows holes and serious vulnerabilities compared the handful of minor issues on OSX?

Give us a break ZDNET, get out of M$'s pocket.
