Max blogs about difficulties in getting Apple to acknowledge their vulnerabilities.

Yet, according to ISS X-FORCE Security Report, Apple has overtaken Microsoft in the number of vulnerability disclosures. Microsoft still leads the race in the number of exploits. It seems that it still pays more to exploit Windows instead of MacOS, even though this discrepancy is narrowing.

Note the high positions for Joomla and Drupal. It is a testament to their success, as well as Sql Injection attack exploitability.

What galvanizes Apple's effort is popularity of iPhone. Vulnerabilities affecting iPhone are taken more seriously, which helps users like me, but is also bound to filter down to other products that are based on the same OS.
