"In one of Apple's biggest security blunders in years, a bug in macOS High Sierra allows untrusted users to gain unfettered administrative control without any password."

Comical...
Hardly secure hey? I’ve been a Mac user for years but have never really swallowed the “more secure than PC’s” thing.

It makes sense though, if I make my own OS, no-one is going to know exploits or virusses for it.

Kaspersky warned for this about five years ago:

Then again, the biggest security threat is the user in general, and stuff like this slips in every now and then. Let's just hope they go to fix it fast this time.
