Yesterday Apple announced that a "small number" of employee's Mac's were infected by visiting a software development site. Wow, a Mac attack after all that Appletalk about how only Windows gets infected by virii. A "small number" presumably means something less than all the computers at Apple. And, hard working Apple employees were infected at a software development site, not those nasty porn sites. Apple workers never watch porn on the job. Right.
Since the infection occurred by just visiting a website, that means the browser did it. The Apple browser got stupid and ran a program off that website, something it should never do, but all commercial browsers are doing today.
What the world needs is a secure browser that never ever executes programs from anywhere. You would think such a browser would sell fairly well. Maybe some of the flashier websites would look less flashy, but I'll take secure over flashy anyday.
