From the article:
<http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/144162/companies_struggle _as_safari_pops_up_on_networks.html> ================= Because of the way Apple had configured the update, anyone who clicked OK automatically installed the company's Web browser. Most users thought that Safari was simply a component of the Apple software they'd already installed, Wilson said. "This is not good; this is a security risk," he said. "We're a bank." ================== Umm... Maybe it is just me, but isn't the security risk allowing users to install any software that they want? --Keith Keith Young, Security Official Department of Technology Services Montgomery County, Maryland phone - (240) 777-2955 _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
