Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system remains vulnerable to attacks by hackers, even after the Mac computer maker issued a software update to fix the problem, security firm Secunia said in an updated warning issued Tuesday.
Niels Rasmussen, chief executive of Denmark-based Secunia, said that while Apple patched one of the vulnerabilities in its Mac OS X operating system, it did not address what is known as a disk URI vulnerability, which could allows malicious Web sites to silently place code on a user's system.
