Break Apple’s security Hackers have managed to do the impossible and break into the super secure Apple networks. Everyone in the Tame Apple Press knows that Apple creates the most secure systems in the world and that viruses only exist on Windows machines, so this latest news has them scratching their heads. LMBO!!!!!!!

I can't tell if that website is an onion clone or not. On one hand, it has *somewhat* legitimate tech news, but on the other, it has "English boffins come up with better self driving car".

Read more on it here: http://www.zdnet.com/appl...nerability-7000011601/ Surprise, surprise, it's a java plugin exploit. Who even has that enabled anymore? Surprised that apple employees don't have that disabled, considering how many zero-days have been discovered in the past few months.

Nobody hacks Macs b/c it is the minority in the OS market.
I guarantee you if a hacker wants to take you down, they can.

Yeah, it's the same reason why Devs make games for consoles firstly - they claim they can reach more people, more sales on a console ,... hackers go for Windows because it is on the majority of PC's used , - hacking a mac to use as a botnet / virus machine only reaches a small segment....
Apple isn't anymore secure than a ziploc sandwhich bag , it's just that most hackers don't want to waste their time on the small potatoes.....

iOS is easy to hack? Oh no, why don't we have jailbreaks right after launch? All you did was ONE example and it only lets you open the contacts? Please.

Sounds like a few grade school hackers are stretching their ePeen. Who cares about Apple getting hacked? What are they going to do steal trade secrets so they can do Chinese knockoffs? Wait, everyone already does.

You must be mistaken Steve, I read it on the internet "Apple creates the most secure systems". They can't put it on the internet if it's not true... Bornjour
