Apple software the most insecure: Secunia

Apple is at the industry leader in many areas, but it certainly doesn't want to know it's the industry leader in terms of security flaws. That's the conclusion reached by security firm Secunia, in their half-year report for 2010 (.PDF).

In the first six months of 2010, Apple had more reported vulnerabilities than any other company. Oracle was second, and Microsoft was third. It should be noted, however, that the report only notes the number of vulnerabilities, not how severe they are, how quickly they are patched, or what the possibility of exploit is.

After all, hackers still target Windows PCs far more than Macs. It's the sheer number of Windows PCs that make them more attractive, naturally.
