Mac Air first to crumble in hacking contest
IT WAS a battle of machines - the Sony VAIO, Apple Mac Air and the Fujitsu U810 laptops were the sitting ducks. And all the "researchers" at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver last week took aim to see which machine they could hack into first to retrieve a file.
The Mac Air was the first to fall, with winnder Charles Miller breaking into it in just two minutes, walking away with a cool US$10,000 plus the machine he broke into. It seems he did not try hitting the other machines.
SIGNIFICANCE: You can look at it two ways. The MAc Air has the worst security. Or it had the greatest appeak as Charles went straight and only for the Mac Air.
