Thanks for posting zefyr. The Digg link was no longer working but I went to the digg site and found it again. It goes directly here:

Man, ZD Net is taking it on the chin with the earlier report about the "vulnerability." And this test didn't even have the Mac in its most secure state. Good to know. But I do wish they (or someone) would keep the test open for longer.

Well... what do you know, 38 hours and no-one could get in. Wonder what'd happen if you put an XP machine up to the same test?
