But what pisses me off is that Apple never changed the default password for the battery chips... what the hell? I know they have been saying for years that Apple OS is secure and all that propaganda, but they did not do security 101 on their own hardware by changing the default password of one of their manufactures? Even my 50 dollar router from China demanded I change the default password when I turned it on...
Sadly common. Stuxnet only worked because Siemens couldn't change the default password for their nuclear powerplant control system.
That role has belonged to Microsoft. So, it's not surprising as apple becomes more popular that hackers start to take aim.
No no, that would be if hackers were attacking AOL. :lol:
Another reason why Microsoft is such a big target has to do with their hubris to the point where they have put out the os code and challenged hackers to break it. (sometimes within 48 hours of release windows gets broken)
Actually, microsoft gets hacked because they have crappy software. Publishing your code is a standard practice so that you can find and fix bugs rather than letting hackers exploit them in secret. The most secure OS's like SE linux all are open source and yet are far more secure.
If somebody has physical access to your battery they could disable it much more easily by smashing it with a hammer. The entire concept of hacking a battery is just silly
