  • The Safari was on a PC right? Not a Mac? Posted by noname, usa
  • "using a remote-execution exploit to gain control of the Mac." Posted by dave, usa

  • I'm wondering what version of safari, I assume it's not whatever they're developing now.

    @ben: White hat hackers usually aren't complete dicks, they could make plenty exploiting it themselves, and free stuff without the threat of going to jail is always cool
