I have seen so many of these FUD articles over my many years of running macs, I no longer pay attention to them.

No specifics mentioned in this one as to exactly what the vulnerabilities might be.

There are always stupid users, I suppose.

And there are also stupid arrogant asses who think just because some idiot told them their system was totally secure they would take their word for it and say “not my problem”.

Security is everyone’s problem. And this shows just how arrogant Apple owners are thinking their systems are as secure as a military-grade computer. What a bunch of stupidity at the highest level. Even if you are secure doesn’t mean you being on the network means you can’t pass your crappy email viruses onto other parts of the network and take the entire network down because of this crass behavior.

I've looked. Nothing much. Only two were exploitable and those were proof of concept exploits. . . which took quite a bit of effort. Other high rated vulnerabilities required multiple things to be also wrong for them to be a danger. They needed to be fixed, and were fixed. Apple was the reporting source on the vast majority of the CVEs. . . when they fixed them.
