Please cite evidence for these extraordinary claims. Who, precisely, did Apple "prosecute" for "exploring" security issues?
Please don't post made-up things in public.
As an aside, no, everyone did not "know" that Macs don't get viruses. But yes, most informed people were aware that Macs were somewhat less susceptible to malware for a while. Please don't exaggerate wildly.
- m463 6y agoI cannot find the specific articles, but there were security researchers who would find some sort of apple problem and would be contacted by apple and go dark. This was probably the era when osx was getting off the ground. I assume they were protecting their brand, but I always thought it was a little ingenuine (on the other hand, security researchers are not all college professors with good intentions) I think apple finally had to cave when there problems too large to ignore. https://www.ibtimes.com/apple-yanks-mac-virus-immunity-claims-website-removing-reality-distortion-good-pr-704221 https://www.ibtimes.com/apple-yanks-mac-virus-immunity-claim...
