Privacy, Security, Encryption Fresh from winning the PWN2OWN contest yesterday, Charlie Miller has been interviewed by ZDNet. He talks about how Mac OS X is a very simple operating system to exploit due to the lack of any form of anti-exploit features. He also explains that the underlying operating system is much more important in creating a successful exploit than the bowser, why Chrome is so hard to hack, and many other things.

Basically, however, what he's saying is he'd rather make money than prevent others from getting royally screwed, a prime example of the selfish greed-motivated mentality that seems to be so prevalent today, and one that will ultimately screw us all for good. When you come right down to it, that's pathetic.


Yeah, God forbid anybody should ever be paid for what they're doing. Perhaps you would like to feed his family while he works for the good of humanity; we'll just set up a Paypal account in your name.
