Hackers have already managed to crack Mac OS X 10.4.3 for Intel to work on non-Apple computers, reports Macworld UK.
While as yet unconfirmed, a report on a Hack in the Box, a hacker’s web site, says, “Maxxuss, the hacking God of the OS X x86 world has cracked the security in 10.4.3.†This version of the Mac OS X for Intel OS featured tougher security to prevent hackers running it on non-Apple systems, notes Macworld UK. The Hack in the Box report claims that this has now been broken, and that it’s even possible to run the software on older Intel-based systems.
“There are many interesting facets to this news,†the site says. “First, it appears that Apple’s security enhancements between releases simply weren’t effective. Also, not only has the hacker named Maxxuss been able to hack the kernel to run on non-Apple hardware, he’s also been able to make the OS available to those who don’t have the most cutting edge hardware available.â€Â
