“I’m Invincible!” : The Wrong Reason To Go With OS X
By Daniel Miessler on January 18th, 2008: Tagged as Information Security | Security
So the Army is adding a number of OS X Server boxes to their IT arsenal. I’m an OS X guy, so I think that’s cool, but I don’t necessarily like the reasons I’m hearing.
The mentality of “because Windows vulnerabilities just bounce off” is weak to me, and I wish the argument wasn’t coming from my side. OS X is just an operating system; it can be attacked too.
People should like OS X for what it’s going to provide even after it’s a primary target and not just as a pretty decent OS to use to gain some obscurity.
