Upside Down

So Apple had to pull back the iOS 8.0.1 update. And now there is the Shellshock BASH vulnerability.

Time to upgrade your Mac or Linux box to Windows for a secure computing environment!

    Looks like my system is ok for now. NO WINDOWS FOR ME. I don't run any shell scripts anyway so the possibility is slim that this vulnerability will effect my system

    Thanks for the heads up. Since when did you become a sysadmin Brick...

    1. Thanks - good news is that I'm managing technical resources that are much smarter than me. I'll be doing project management as well. Plus they won't give me any enable passwords or root access, so no worries. Thanks again!
