Apple tackles Mac security flaw

'Apple users have been updating their software to close a security hole which could, in theory, expose their computers to attack.
On Friday, Apple warned of a flaw in its Safari web browser which could allow malicious code to be run on a machine without a user's permission.'
Apple's have up until now been fairly safe in terms of attacks from viruses, could this be that the virus writers have been targeting Windows machines to gain the most publicity as it would effect the most machines. With more people using Apple's they could end up being a victim of their own success.
No machine regardless of it's make is completely safe when connected to the net, all we can try to do is to make our machines as safe as possible (anti-virus, firewall etc).....and hope!
