Eek! Safari Vulnerability!
“Shortly after reports of the first virus for Mac OS X, a new security flaw has surfaced. The culprit is the option “Open ‘safe’ files after downloading” in Apple’s Safari web browser.

If active content such as an application or shell script is found within the archive, a prompt requests user confirmation. So far, so good.” Full story on heise.de Luckily I use a different browser for mac 😉

David Chisnall explains why the BSD family has found its way into a large number of systems and what these systems can do for you.”
