Mac OS X worm maker raps Apple on security

The researcher who claims to have crafted a Mac OS X worm said today that he will report his findings to Apple Inc., and added that the company "has a very long way to go" on security.

Despite having promised that he will report the newfound vulnerability to Apple, he has not specified when he will actually do that.

He said, "I do believe in being responsible and working with vendors," he said, "but I also feel that some vendors need to be treated like children and learn lessons the hard way. Apple has a very long way to go when dealing with security issues in their products."
