Mac security researcher Dino Dai Zovi has unveiled a new Mac exploit referred to as Machiavelli at the Black Hat conference. This attack takes aim at computers that have already been infected through Safari. Once the hacker has infiltrated the system, encrypted data such as bank account information is at their fingertips. This exploit comes at the same conference that an SMS vulnerability was revealed for the iPhone. Several of the experts at Black Hat stated that once enough effort is put into Mac exploits, they could become as vulnerable as Windows computers.
