PCWorld: "Macs Hit by Backdoor Attack" This is Apple's nightmare. For years, they've exploited the happy niche they were in; small enough to play the underdog and do their own thing; yet not big enough to have to worry about being a major hack-target; about compatibility; or about antitrust. Now, that's changing. Apple is entering the arena Microsoft had to face --- and messed up in --- in the mid 90's. Hello, hackers! Hello, mass-market issues. And in a while: Hello, Department of Justice. Apple's Jobs-delayed adolescence is finally ending. And it's about freaking time. http://www.pcworld.com/article/194462/macs_hit_by_backdoor_attack.html
