I think this argument is actually slightly petulant: "According to gwerdna, the hacked Mac could have been better protected, but it would not have stopped him because he exploited a vulnerability that has not yet been made public or patched by Apple.". Well...this is true of any system: if there are unpublished, unfixed exploits then it can be compromised....is anyone surprised by this? If the guy had unpatched exploits...what the hell is the significance of 30 minutes? Of much more relevance is the rate at which exploits are found. So please, contest that. The quoted story has pretty much 0 relevance to....anything. I'm sure there are plenty of unpatched, unpublished exploits for windows. Besides...if you have local access...there are SO many vectors that I'd be quite disappointed if he hadn't found anything in half an hour.
