    Secunia seems hell-bent upon discrediting itself.



    Security advisories do not expire or "go away" when a patch or fix is made public. Do you understand why?



    Despite some Apple nut's effort to re-write history this morning via Wikipedia, Secunia is a well-respected company in the security community. It doesn't pull any punches, whatever the vendor or the OS and is one of several sources enterprises use for breaking security vulnerability info. Any effort to slam them like previous "bad news" sources have been lately (NY Times, Washington Post, Consumer Reports, Gizmodo, bloggers, analysts, etc) is very misguided.

    I'm color blind so that chart looks about as useful as the report which puts Apple as more vulnerable than Microsoft, it's load of crap.

    The report didn't say Apple was more vulnerable that Microsoft, in fact it cautioned against drawing such conclusions. Read more closely.



    Of course it's crap, as is any negative news about Apple.
