Pwn2Own 2010: Google Chrome is the last man standing (Download Squad)

Mar 25th 2010 12:01PM This is a perfect example of how big a joke the so-called "superior security of OSX compared to Windows" is. Security thru obscurity will work for OSX only until they have a minuscule share of the market in comparison to Windows, which is a much bigger & lucrative target.

Hackers will always target platforms that have a large installed base. Look at how easily & quickly the iPhone OS (derived from desktop OSX) has been jailbroken every single time whenever there was a new version.

Before the fanboys start any flame war, here's a disclaimer : I use both Mac OSX and Windows on a daily basis and like/dislike both of them for various reasons.
