MacBooks survive day one in hacker jungle
Posted by Ryan Naraine @ 10:25 pm

VANCOUVER, BC – Two tricked-out MacBook laptops have survived the first day of a 'PWN to OWN' contest that dared hackers to take control of default Mac OS X installations.

My comments:

In a room full of hackers, with a $10,000 bounty at stake, nobody was able to take control of a pair of MacBook Pros that had no third-party security software, using the out-of-the-box security settings.

I would really like to see any Windows PC meet this challenge.
