You kind of failed to mention that because noone could hack it on the first day, they had to make it easier the second day by opening up some stuff on the computer to make it easier... and even then it took 9 hours.
The first day didn't allow any open apps? That makes a whole lot of sense for security testing.
Yeah because in the real world, people never open any applications. They just sit and stare at their oh-so-sexy Macs, pondering whether or not to actually do anything. Constantly and obsessively washing their hands, so that if they do decide to do something on their stiffy inducing consumer electronic device, they won't smudge it up.
Yeah having a firewall that is not a MAC, is kinda not a hacking a MAC.
So they actually let the MAC stand alone.
What you this article failed to mention, is that the contest required that they hack the Mac with an UNKNOWN exploit. Not one that is already known and hasn't been fixed yet.
