Incursor

Last week, Dino Dai Zovie claimed $10,000 in a competetion to find a way to exploit the way Safari works.

Right now, every Mac is vulnerable to this.

But now, people have discovered that the same method that Zovi used can be used to manipulate PCs.

The hack lies in the way Quicktime interacts with Java.

This is a very serious threat to all computer users, including those using other browsers such as Firefox or Opera.

It is on the same level as the animated cursor hole, meaning one link and your entire computer could be taken over in a matter of minutes.

The way he implemented he attacked was released to only TippingPoint, host of the contest, meaning that most computers are safe unless this information is released.

Zovie says that his previous submissions of vulnerablilities to Apple had “nothing but positive interactions”.
