The fact that Mac users are an elitist group that believes themselves invulnerable to viruses/etc doesn't help either.
What, is an OSX virus or worm going around? Has anybody got details?

I never did the fiddling to get filesystem access from a Mach task, but I heard that it was easily possible. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
