Two hackers Kevin Finisterre and LMH stated on their blog that they are going to spend the whole month on publicising bugs in Apple's Operating system and others programs.
They claims that these are completely new and they had never been discussed ever.They also plans to produce the code that can be used to exploit those flaws.
Though they also claims that this project is not going to harm users as their intention is only to bring out the flaws so that they can be fixed even after this statement few of net users who are using Apple's product on their systems are sending hate mails and bugs to them.Overall they are getting mixed response.
They plans to reval only those flaws whose importance lies in the range of Trivial to critical.The project started on 1 January and the first discovery was a flaw in Apple's Quicktime (version 7.1.3) video software and the way it handles a particular protocol.
Exploiting this bug via a booby-trapped webpage would let attackers install malicious programs on a target machine.
Officially Apple has not announed any statement but unofficially a former employee of Apple Landon Fullet has set up an project to patch the bugs which these hackers are going to reval throuhout the month
.Fuller said that this will be an temporary effort to protect the Apple users but actual efforts should be done by the Apple itself.
