These Macheads remind me of the time Freepers kept bragging about how “perfect’ Malwarebytes is..
Guess what? IT’S NOT. I used to work for a well-known AV company in Los Angeles and I witnessed a TLD4 rootkit render it useless...yes, the PRO PAID VERSION of Malwarebytes.
Yep. This is really raining on their parade. I’m not happy that OSX is getting hacked and malware attacking it, but I am glad that this should shut the idiots up. However, it won’t.
How long until they come in here saying this isn’t a real issue...it’s just stupid users installing stuff they shouldn’t. But they are the same people who attack windows for it’s stupid users installing porn.exe to get free porn.
We can just replay their asinine arguments now that they finally have malware by-passing OSX security.
At least no one is coming in here saying...use Linux or Windows and you won’t have to worry about MacGuard.
Perhaps it would be better if we looked at it this way.
Cars used to just have a button to start them.
Then they had keys, to keep unauthorized people from driving them.
Then they had the more complex transmission lock and steering wheel lock.
Then they had the ‘security’ system which disabled the ignition.
None of these features every kept those cars from being stolen, by people who really wanted them. Whether they were Ford Pintos or Lamborghinis.
The ONLY thing that can keep a computer safe, is for it to have absolutely NO INPUT CHANNEL. That would then make it useless for home computing and most other purposes, but I am 99% sure it could not be hacked from the internet.
There is no such thing as perfect. The real factor is being a step ahead of your opponent.
It's a fairly even race, but the hackers have the advantage.
