APPLE/MAC Security Alert

First I've ever seen a security alert for apple/macs!

Holy cow! Good thing I am running older OS.

WOw! Thanks so much for alerting me to that needed security update...I don't run Safari (I'm a Firefox girl), but still!

They got bored with Windows being so easy so they went after a harder target.

I'll just have to keep off the net on my book until I can sort the updates!

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Talon!!! I have OX 10.2.8. I was wondering why I just got a bunch of updates...have to update today just to keep safe!

Don't these people have anything better to do!?

So True! Glad I saw this going to check updates now! Thanks

Oops - evidently there is a fix to the fix!

--------------
Apple released a major patch (Security Update 2005-007) on Tuesday which addresses many issues under Mac OS X components.

Unfortunately the patch causes a break in 64-bit applications. Please see: http://www.macfixit.com/

A successor patch exists which corrects this problem.

Apple's download site can be found here with V1.1 revisions:
