Apple has long trumpeted its OS to be way safer compared to the Windows platform, but an insecurity expert recently counted more zero day security flaws than one has fingers – in fact, 20 of them in total. Security researcher Charlie Miller, claimed that the attack surface of OS-X is so wide you can land a proverbial 747 on it – sideways! These bugs are located in the open source components, while vulnerabilities also remain in the closed source third-party and Apple components. Regardless of either segment, all of them are able to compromise the Mac OS X operating system remotely. It would be interesting to see how Apple responds to this.
