I clicked on just two of the mac links to see. First was "This is a duplicate of..." and second referred to Ruby on Rails which no USER installs. This author needs to do a tiny bit of research before making blanket claims.
2 seems like a reasonably large sample to be representative. You'r right, sir, this article is complete rubbish and all of these flaws are trivial or not applicable to the average Mac user.
Here's a copy of a comment on osnews.com that pretty much represents what I think too...:
The vulnerability stats in the OS X side include:
- OS X *server* vulnerabilities: Apache, PHP, mysql, bind, squirrelmail - 3rd party software like Java or flash - Really old OS X versions - CVE duplicates
I discovered this by just clicking a few CVEs. Didn't the author even look to some of his own links? Obviously not. Or worse: He did, but he wanted to generate controversy to get more visit. Oh well, he has succeeded.
Need to study the vulnerability stats... thanks for sharing this information...
