Apple has now brought OS X 10.5 (Leopard) up to speed with Lion, at least when it comes to security. The company issued updates to Leopard users on Monday with Leopard-friendly copies of the Flashback removal tool that was released to Lion users last month, as well as the ability given to Lion users last week to disable out-of-date versions of Flash in Safari.
The updates come via the Flashback Removal Security Update and Leopard Security Update 2012-003, both posted to Apple's download site on Monday afternoon (also available via Software Update). Both downloads require OS X 10.5.8 in order to install.

Vous croyez toujours que votre Mac est sécurisé, car les PC Microsoft tombent sous les virus et les vers, mais pas les Macs ? Réveillez-vous ! Cette année a connu la première compromission majeure de Macs à travers le monde (*). Qu'en est-il du vôtre ?
Ainsi, utilisateurs de Mac, sachez que, d'une part mettre à jour en temps opportun, et d'autre part utiliser un logiciel anti-virus sont également bons pour votre Mac (et vos nerfs).
Gardez votre système d'exploitation à jour en utilisant le mécanisme de "Mise à jour de logiciels..." qui est accessible dans le menu "Apple". Utilisez les droits "administrateur" uniquement lorsque c'est nécessaire, sinon, conservez les droits "utilisateur" restreints.
Mais notez aussi qu'Apple peut encore s'améliorer: il leur a fallu des mois pour publier le correctif approprié - ce qui est long comparé au cycle mensuel de mise à jour de Microsoft.

WordPress installations received a security upgrade on Friday to patch a number of vulnerabilities.
The update to version 3.3.2, as well as 3.4 Beta 3, fixes issues in file uploaders Plupload and SWFUpload, and Adobe Flash embedding tool SWFObject. The new version also comes with fixes for several privilege escalation and cross-site scripting bugs.
Cyber criminals heavily use vulnerable WordPress sites to spread malware, and they may have been utilized in the recent Flashback trojan attacks on Mac OS X systems.

With the recent glut of high profile Mac-based malware like MacDefender and Flashback, it’s easy to forget that Macintosh computers (and Mac malware) have been kicking around for more than thirty years – longer, even, than Windows malware.
In fact, the first documented Mac virus actually predated some of the first PC viruses by a good four years. While conventional wisdom has always assumed that Macs are inherently safer than PCs, wider adoption of Macs in recent years has given rise to new and more sophisticated threats, with many suggesting that Apple’s honeymoon with malware authors may be over.
As this slideshow of Mac Malware through the years shows, however, Apple machines are no strangers to malicious software.

Apple is a decade behind Microsoft in terms of Mac malware security, research firm Kaspersky has contentiously suggested, something it predicts the Cupertino firm will quickly realize in a fast-approaching storm of rogue software.
“I think they are ten years behind Microsoft in terms of security” company CEO Eugene Kaspersky told Computer Business Review at a security event this week, predicting a torrent of malware is incoming for OS X and that Apple will have to pull its boots up in order to handle it.
