The last three lines of your comment are complete nonsense. You have failed to parse and understand what I wrote.
Yeah, because it is so off base, right, you writing:
"If malware on OSX is as small a problem as you're suggesting, why is Apple bothering with any of this? Is it to wrestle further control of the app eco-system on OSX? Or is it just security theatre? Or both? Something else?"
And me translating the above as you saying that if they don't do it to defend against ALREADY EXISTING malware then it's either a security theater or a mystery to you why they'd do it.
- mike-cardwell 15y agoI was attempting to prompt you into retracting your ridiculous statement about malware not being a problem. I wish I hadn't bothered now. I'll leave you to it.
- batista 15y agoI was attempting to prompt you into retracting your ridiculous statement about malware not being a problem. Ridiculous how? It's perfectly valid, as in: VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY FEW OS X users ever had problems with malware. Less that what would be statistical noise. On top of it, all the cases of OS X malware, had been trojans. So, 99.9999% got scratch free, despite not even running any antivirus or anything. So, an ACTUAL, EXISTING problem, it is NOT. Now, a POSSIBLE, FUTURE problem, yeah, it can be.
- mike-cardwell 15y agoYou thought I was talking about malware that exists today. I wasn't. That's why your response made no sense. I was talking about in the future, when malware is installed before revocation certificates are pushed out. This is why it looked like you were the one that was ignoring the future likelihood of malware on OSX, not me. Go back to your first comment in this thread, and look at my most recent response to it. Then read my original comment. The problem here is that you simply misunderstood my initial comment, and replied to something which I did not say.
