None of those exploits have ever been seen outside the lab, so they don't matter. However, Conor *is* an automaton that generates spurious disinformation. And he says he uses a Mac. Does Conor then count as an exploit, that's the question? -- Peter

Cites of exploits seen in the wild, rather than the lab? Bonus points if you can find anything that doesn't require user intervention to install.

If you _really_ want people to think of you as a demented idiot then please do continue to use the non-word 'fanboi'. No-one here is saying there's no malware for Macs - we've been over this before. We're saying there's _effectively_ none, which so far as I can tell is still true.
