you’re an idiot… and it wasn’t an OS related hack retard, it was a security oversite and not locking down a config file..

It was not only the people at ebaums, it was /g/ from 4chan and the guys at #macosx on irc.freenode.net.
Aside from that, people at macrumors did had it coming, they exposed their password file: macrumorslive.com/admin/.passwd , so the access to their mainframe was just an MD5 collision appart.

It was the people from #macosx on irc.freenode.net Seriously, you can check the logs and you’ll see it’s them. I was there when it happened.

I saw this earlier on the MacThemes forum. Sad.

On another note, glad to see the 17-inch MBP got updated. Maybe we’ll get more hardware news in February.

Totally hilarious!!! On the floor laughing my ass off! Now lets listen to all the fan boys say how safe apple is and its immunity to hackers/virus’s. I applaud what they did…NOT what they said. Proves apple fan boys ain’t so safe and secure after all.
