Apple pest control

January may bring Apple a little late, very specific, but damn necessary in the household gifts. Two computer security professionals, Kevin Finisterre, and a man hiding under the pseudonym LMH, according to PCWorld , declared January as the “month of bugs” found in products of the California corporation. Every day, starting from the first, they plan to reveal one serious vulnerability.

We know about the mysterious LMH that it was behind the “ month of bugs ” that we were looking for in the cores of several operating systems. And Finistère is known to have been the first to create a worm that runs on MacOS X, so he undoubtedly understands the subject.

For each security hole, researchers are going to create a working exploit, not limited to theorizing. Apart from the OS kernel, they decided to focus their attention on Apple's key products: the Safari browser, iTunes, iPhoto, and QuickTime. Moreover, including their versions for Windows.

Despite the fact that Apple's software is often called more secure than its counterparts on the PC, many experts believe that this is caused more likely by its lower prevalence and, therefore, less attractiveness to attackers.

LMH said that they were a little afraid of the negative reaction from Apple lovers, as it was after the recent BlackHat conference, where their colleagues showed a video-recording of a MacBook hacking. But this does not diminish their determination. In addition, a spokesperson for Apple itself said that the company always welcomes outside help to strengthen Mac security.
