Omg I just read an article about MacBook Air getting hacked in less then two minutes. I know that Apple just released bunch of security bug fixes recently but that I guess didn’t help!

Security researchers from Independent Security Evaluators managed to hack a MacBook Air using a zero-day vulnerability in Apple’s Safari 3.1 Web browser.

Independant Security Evaluators (ISE) hacked MacBook Air in two minutes using zero-day vulnerability in Apple’s Safari 3.1 Web

browser.

Blog Post from TippingPoint stated

“[S]ince the Vista and Ubuntu laptops are still standing unscathed, we are now opening up the scope of the targets beyond just default installed applications on those laptops; any popular third-party application (as deemed ‘popular’ by the judges) can now be installed on the laptops for a prize of $5,000 upon a successful compromise.”

They also received $10.000 for hacking Air in shortest amount of time
