Recently, MacBook Air was hacked! Why? Well, a security contest was made that allowed security researchers an opportunity to "hack" the MacBook Air!

On the first day of the contest, no one was able to gain control over MacBook. But that quickly changed the second day when the rules of the contest were changed to allow "hackers" ( actually they're security researchers as I said before ) to "hack" through OS default installed client-side applications," such as browsers.

The team of independent security researchers won the $10,000! Of course, you're probably wondering as to how the researches have done it. Well, they exploited a newly discovered vulnerability in Safari to gain control of the Air.
