We do want to thank Sophos for being so concerned, but the next time they want to warn people about cybercriminals, they should quote some people besides their own software engineers.I am the author of AACGain. Be careful with your names, passwords, credit card information, and anything you download from the internet. However, the same rules apply to most any computer user out there. Like we’ve stated before, you should take computer security seriously, especially with identify theft becoming such a huge problem. And it’s not just your Mac that could be vulnerable, but your iPhone and iPod Touch! And if you think Linux makes you safe, think again! The criminals are catching on! And we all know that one a cybercriminal gets involved, things are 10.736 times as dangerous because they are looking to steal your money, not just make life annoying for you. The latest report comes from Sophos, which takes things up a notch by stating that cybercriminals are finally starting to target Mac OS X. And more importantly, how you should think about buying some security software to make sure you are safe. However, it is annoying to read about how every new malware threat demonstrates how you have to be careful even if you are running Mac OS X. Apple, like every other computer manufacturer, has security issues, but I do think Apple does as good a job as any at identifying these vulnerabilities and taking care of them. I am not one of the people who thinks that Mac OS X is so inherently secure that people using Macs will never have to worry about a virus. Yet Another Report Warns of Impending Malware Doom for Apple It does make one wonder if Apple has spread itself too thin, but the people at Promise might actually be better equipped to sell and support high-availability storage, perhaps making it a better deal in the end. The Xserve RAID was a good product, but it hasn’t been updated very often. As MacDailyNews reports, it is no longer available from the Apple Store and Apple appears to be promoting the Promise VTrak RAID instead. The other bit of news in this story is the disappearance of the Xserve RAID.
We’ll have to check in with our production and post production peeps to see what they think of the upgrade, but we do know a few locations that will make the upgrade for the multiple SAN volumes alone. Xsan 2 boasts a new administration interface, support for multiple SAN volumes, and support for 3rd party RAID hardware. Interesting product news out of Apple today as the company announced the second version of it’s Xsan SAN filesystem product for OS X. Trouble in the Enterprise? Xserve RAID Goes Missing as Apple Announces Xsan 2
