Hacking a Mac Book - Redux

It looks like the recent publicity over individuals attacking Mac Book's via WiFi flaws to gain control of the system may have been fabricated.

Mac Daily News has the scoop, noting that the hackers relied on third-party wireless cards to conduct their attack. Since the Mac Book has built in WiFi, it would be extremely unlikely to find someone using a third-party wireless card to attack.

The Washington Post's Brian Krebss stands by his assertion that it was the Mac's own wireless capabilities were attacked. But the onus is now on SecureWorks to demonstrate that what it found was a flaw in the Mac itself, and not a flaw in a third-party wireless card that nobody will ever use anyway.
