If anyone says to you that a Mac cannot be hacked, we show you a proof to bask him. Mac was hacked in 2 minutes at a contest winning 10,000 USD for Charlie Miller (the hacker).

At the CanSecWest security conference's hacking contest, show organizers offered a Sony Vaio, Fujitsu U810, and the MacBook Air as prizes, saying that they could be won by anybody at the show who could find a way to hack into each of them and read the contents of a file on the system using a previously undisclosed "0day" attack. Charlie took the first of three laptop computers along with a $10,000 USD cash prize after breaking into a MacBook Air.

Within 2 minutes, he directed the contest's organizers to visit a Web site that contained his exploit code, which then allowed him to seize control of the computer, as about 20 onlookers cheered him on. He was the first contestant to attempt an attack on any of the systems.

Contest rules state that Miller could only take advantage of software that was preinstalled on the Mac, so the flaw is for sure possible on every Mac's out there and that leaves Apple out of saying "The software you installed has caused the problem and not Mac by itself!"
