Week in Apple: Software updates, jailbroken iPhone worms, and VESA

// November 14th, 2009 // Tech News

Mac users got some love from Apple this week in the form of an update to Snow Leopard, as well as one for Safari. But it’s not all good news for Apple fans–hackers are out to get jailbroken iPhone users and those running Atom-based hackintoshes will be stuck on Mac OS X 10.6.1. Read on to get the low-down. Mac OS X 10.6.2 out now along with Leopard security update : Come and get your Snow Leopard update to 10.6.2! If you’re still on Leopard, though, security fixes are available as well. Truly malicious iPhone malware now out in the wild : While previous “attacks” on jailbroken iPhones were benign, a variation of the same attack quietly extracts personal data from an infected device. Please, folks, change your default passwords.
