Apple users are updating to OS X Mavericks in large numbers, but not fast enough. Corporate users in particular have been slow to upgrade, which could have serious security implications.
Apple is famous for the secrecy around its product and service launches.
===> It's unfortunate it has decided that the safety of Mac users should also require reading tea leaves. <===

Apple has pushed out a Safari update to go along with this week's "Java Tuesday" fix. Via Gust MEES, ABroaderView
Scoop.it!
One-quarter of the 30,156 websites tested in the second quarter by Zscaler’s Zulu service, which tests the security of websites, were malicious, according to Zscaler’s second quarter 2012 State of the Web report.
The State of the Web report found that users are slow to update browser plug-ins and attackers know it, as witnessed by the Flashback Trojan, which infected over 650,000 Macs leveraging a Java vulnerability. However, the situation is improving. In the second quarter, 35% of installed Adobe Shockwave plug-ins were outdated, down from 52% in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Adobe Acrobat was the worst in terms of updating, with close to 62% of plug-ins being outdated in the second quarter, followed by Adobe Shockwave with 38%, Microsoft Outlook with 5.7%, and Adobe Flash with 4.3%.
===> “Outdated plug-ins are vulnerable to exploitation, and the bad guys know that”, Geide observed. <===
