OS X has been exposed to major vulnerabilities, and Mac is dangerous.

Keeper, as its name implies, is a brand new security detection function that Apple has added to OS X Mountain Lion. It can effectively help Mac users guard their machines to prevent malicious software from entering. In other words, if the Keeper is invalid, your Mac device is dangerous. Synack, a foreign security agency, recently discovered a method that allows attackers to bypass keeper and enable infected software on Mac devices. This method is quite simple.

Synack told the media that they found that the keeper had passed the "Review" of some software and it would not be concerned about the subsequent actions of the software. That is to say, if the software that has passed the "Review" accesses other malware, the Keeper will not detect it. This is easy for malicious hackers. They only need to rename the software that passes the review, and then plug in various viruses.

The security agency did not list software that had such "ignored" features, but said they had reported the issue to Apple two months ago, apple's response is "Developing patches ".
