There has been alot of "Mac" press around the Johnny Cache wireless vulnerability talk recently. I only have couple of points to make about the issue. I don't see why they would fake such a talk. If it were "all made up", then it would only end up hurting the company and the speakers in the eye of the community. I don't personally believe the information shown during the talk was fake....if you believe the whole thing is fake..then what the hell did Intel just patch??
I would tell Johnny to not let the Mac Blind get to him. Johnny doesn't need to take bets or prove that Apple has vulnerabilities to every other Mac user. Apple OSX has had vulnerabilities...and it will have more in the future. Stop crying and think about what you are going to do to protect yourself.
If / When Apple releases patches for its wireless products, we will all have the true answer to the question that is bugging everyone. That is if Apple tells us the real reason they are issuing a patch....at this point, I see no good reason why Apple would want to tell their general users the truth. Their general user already believes they don't have anything to worry about anyways.
I am sure the patch will be released on the first Tuesday of the month; under cover of a zero-day Windows patch...lol
I do agree that some of the media have blown the issue out of the box and applied strange negative spin to the real issue.
Real Issue = Device Drivers, as a whole, should be lookedb at as possible attack vectors and manufacturers need to start giving the same security attention to device driver code that they give to normal application code. Period.
