  • subgeniusd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Final point of long and detailed analysis:

    "Without a diligence for applying the appropriate patches or enabling automatic updates, owners of Windows and OS X systems are the most susceptible to quick and thorough remote violations by hackers."

    I found this analysis more informative then the recent popular front page article. It proves that well worn statement about the deepest OS (any type) vulnerability sitting between the keyboard and the chair.
