Scott Granneman, Kolumnist bei Security Focus hatte kürzlich Besuch vom FBI. Dave Thomas Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the St. Louis Division of the FBI besuchte ihn und hielt einen Vortrag über die Probleme die sich für Otto Normal User im Internet ergeben können. Er empfahl allen Leuten die sichere Computer “out of the box” besitzen mochten Mac’s die unter Mac OS X laufen:

Dave had some surprises up his sleeve as well. You’ll remember that I said he was using a ThinkPad (running Windows!). I asked him about that, and he told us that many of the computer security folks back at FBI HQ use Macs running OS X, since those machines can do just about anything: run software for Mac, Unix, or Windows, using either a GUI or the command line. And they’re secure out of the box. In the field, however, they don’t have as much money to spend, so they have to stretch their dollars by buying WinTel-based hardware. Are you listening, Apple? The FBI wants to buy your stuff. Talk to them!
