Pwn2Own: game over for Apple

As usual Apple was crushed in the Pwn2Own, a computer security contest.


This year Cupertino didn't had to suffer long before getting powned: it took the attackers just 5 minutes to defeat iPhone OS defenses and Mac OS X lasted even less, the attacker was able to gain access to a remote shell in under 1 minute.

In both the case the attack exploited Safari flaws. That's why I use Chrome to browse the internet on Mac OS X and why I'd like to see this this countdown stop as soon as possible.

Of course the attackers already came to the competition with the exploit ready to run, but it is a fact that the Apple's device and computer resulted the most vulnerable.

Well, if you really care about yourself you shouldn't use neither Safari nor Chrome which is known to talk with Google a lot.
If you want a piece of advise, you should start using Firefox.
