Safari successfully exploited in seconds in Pwn2Own contest

From Ars Technica

Putting his money where his mouth is, so to speak, security reseacher Charlie Miller exploited Safari in mere seconds to take control of a test MacBook in the Pwn2Own contest held during the CanSecWest security conference. In fact, he did so with a default configuration and all security updates applied. Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla's Firefox 3 were also successfully exploited later in the afternoon.

What can one say? These were fully patched machines. Apple OS/X fell first then Microsoft Windows, and the researchers say it is much easier to exploit OS/X than Windows. This is yet another sign that Apple is lagging behind in the system quality stakes.
