Bud Tribble talks security with Macworld
Bud Tribble, Apple vice president of Software Technology, spoke with Macworld about OS X
security, and if you ask me he didn't say much of anything. He pointed out that it is never good to forget about security, but Mac users really don't have to (wink, wink). There's a firewall, and the OS ships with ports closed off,
and just look at Windows! They get nasty viruses all the time, so OS X is bound to be a better choice.
Bud knows his stuff, and he is right that the recent hubbub about Mac vulnerabilities haven't panned out, but Bud's attitude strikes me as cavalier.
