Mac OS X hacked under 30 minutes

Within hours of going live, the “rm-my-mac” competition was over. The challenger posted this message on his Web site: “This sucks. Six hours later this poor little Mac was owned and this page got defaced”. The hacker that won the challenge, who asked ZDNet Australia to identify him only as “gwerdna”, said he gained root control of the Mac in less than 30 minutes.

Very interesting… I wonder how long it will take Apple to find and patch these exploits. A half hour is not a long time! Check it out at ZDNet Aus.
