No, it's not just Apple security that fails, is it...

Having pointed out that Apple security is not, after all flawless, it seems sensible to make it clear that there is a way-ahead market leader in this business.

The story to read is that by Joris Evers at News.com, which points at the second ZERT intervention on behalf of Microsoft users in two weeks:

For the second time in as many weeks a group of security professionals has released a third-party fix for a Windows flaw that is actively being used in cyberattacks.

The group, calling itself the Zeroday Emergency Response Team, or ZERT, created the patch so Windows users can protect their PCs while Microsoft works on an official update. People have a choice of third-party fixes. Security company Determina on Friday released a patch it authored for the same flaw.

Bug fixes don't exist...
