Apple Safari has 18 security bugs?

Less than 24 hours after the official launch, security experts discovered 18 holes in the latest "Apple" browser. According to Apple's advertisement, the new Safari version will be "perfectly" compatible with Microsoft's Windows platform.

Although Safari 3.0 is just a beta code, security experts still jump in to test it thoroughly, carefully.

As a result, they found 18 errors after just one day. These include two critical (critical) vulnerabilities, as it allows hackers to run unauthorized software on the victim's computer.

The reason why Safari 3.0 received such high attention was because for the first time, Apple was "open" to launch a "Windows-compatible version" for its products. Any developer can download this browser for trial, through the Apple website.

An expert named Tom Ferris, who lives in the US, said the software discovered his vulnerability has outlined 10 vulnerabilities in Safari 3.0 in less than 5 minutes.

With this result, Ferris does not hesitate to give Apple security team heavy criticism. " It's terrible. It's hard to accept. They don't have any initiative or effort to improve their own software. "

Is it really serious?

Apple itself remained silent in front of all these newly discovered holes. " We have confirmed investment in security issues seriously, and we are conducting an investigation of all incoming reports ," the Apple representative said.

Of course, on behalf of a beta, Safari 3.0 "has the right" to have a security error. However, according to Ferris, sticking to 18 errors only in the first "sweep" from the security world is "disregard for users".

" Apple should have checked it more carefully before officially announcing it to the community. What would happen if users tried to get malware just because of Apple's carelessness and misdemeanor? "

However, not everyone is serious about such a problem. Information about the flaw in Safari appears to be on tech blogs and news sites yesterday, but according to expert Matthew Baker, " it's a bit like saying that the beta is going to rain ."
