Mac malware door creaks open

I found this on ZDNetUK. While hardly a horrifying vulnerability, the fact that there are openings into the Mac OS X (just like every other operating system) doesn't get much press. In fact, while disclosure is good, Apple probably takes advantage of this lack of publicity to quietly get patches out the door. Thus the only publicity the vulnerability gets is the notice that it has been closed.

The trouble is that as Apple increases it's market share, it will get more attention from malware authors. Vulnerabilities will be found. It's inevitable. But with the Mac OS reputation for security, many users may be lulled into not checking for patches and/or not patching their systems.
