A slap in the face for people that always shout out that MAC is not hackable and it puts them with the feet back on the ground. I always say that if MAC (or linux/unix) was used in the same proportions as Windows the viruses and patches would be flying around just like they do for Windows environments. At least that is my view on it.
Quote:
On February 22, a Sweden-based Mac enthusiast set his Mac Mini as a server and invited hackers to break through the computer's security and gain root control, which would allow the attacker to take charge of the computer and delete files and folders or install applications.
Within hours of going live, the "rm-my-mac" competition was over. The challenger posted this message on his Web site: "This sucks. Six hours later this poor little Mac was owned and this page got defaced".
The hacker that won the challenge, who asked ZDNet Australia to identify him only as "gwerdna", said he gained root control of the Mac in less than 30 minutes.
