Where are the Safari security updates for Windows and Snow Leopard? Users left exposed | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Apple released Safari 6 as part of its new Mac operating system, OS X Mountain Lion, as well as a version for Lion that fixes a whopping 121 security vulnerabilties.

 

Unfortunately, Apple did not release security updates for Safari for either Snow Leopard or Windows to coincide with the release of Safari 6.0.


===> Unfortunately for Apple, ignoring security issues that affect a large percentage of users does not make the security issues disappear. <===
