The Java vulnerability that Flashback exploited was patched by Oracle in February; Apple only released their own updated version a week ago. Plenty of other components of OS X are not current with their original OSS versions (rsync --version if you want a good example). | |

| Apr 6, 2012 at 20:45 | comment | added | Alexander | please don't recommend off topic software, and anti virus for macs is a big misconception that shouldn't go without explanation | |
