MacBook compromised via Safari browser
April 21st, 2007 Posted in Blog Post, NewsMac users beware, there is a zero-day exploit that can potentially lead to OSX being compromised if you surf to a “bad” website.
The successful attack on the second and final day of the contest required a conference organizer to surf to a malicious Web site using Safari on the MacBook–a type of attack familiar to Windows users.
This apparently became evident at the “PWN to Own” hack-a-Mac contest at the CanSecWest conference. Shane Macaulay walked away with a sweet new MacBook for demonstrating the exploit.
