an outdated article discussing exploits that have long been patched and
never did much anyway. non-issue.

that's already been patched, and as is typical with any of these, it
requires the user to intentionally download and install it. it can't
'just happen'. non-issue.

This was fixed in the OS X El Capitan beta and the latest stable
version of OS X * version 10.10.5

fixed back in yosemite, two major versions ago. the current version of
macos is sierra/10.12.3, with 10.12.4 due as soon as next week. another
non-issue.

I'm not posting these to pull someone's chain but to let Apple users
know what is going on.

you're posting solely to troll about things you don't understand.

the above is nothing more than linkbait. you don't own a mac and don't
know much about them and argue when those who have and use them try to
educate you. none of those has had any major (or even minor) effect on
mac users and all of them have been patched.

what those and other linkbait articles fail to state is that apple
continues to make the mac and ios *very* secure, more so than other
systems.

nothing is perfect, but the bar for mac malware is *so* high that
malware authors will target windows and android because the return on
investment is *much* higher.

this is particularly true with android, where very few users are
running the latest version and are sitting ducks.
