Apparently, a Mac fan set up his Mini
as a server and challenged all comers to try to break in. That wasn’t a
smart move as the contest was essentially over in less than a half
hour. Yep. Zero-to-root in 20 minutes. And yes, if you own a Mini, you
are vunerable too as the hacker used an unpublished, unpatched exploit.

Although Gwerdna said that Mac OS X contains unpatched
vulnerabilities that would permit a hacker to infiltrate Apple’s
operating system, he said that the relatively small number of Macs in
use — in contrast to the vast number of PCs running Windows — is the
reason more hackers do not try to exploit them.

Maybe Apple’s thinking their Switch campaign was a little too successful?
