I found it surprising that in a new study authored by IBM, Apple was rated the number one software most vulnerable to attack, ahead of Microsoft!

I also found it curious that Webmonkey's post (where I read about the study) was titled "Apple, Microsoft Top List of Most Vulnerable Software," which, although true, implies that Microsoft is number two. This isn't true: Microsoft is number three, after Joomla!

Unfortunately, the report notes two worrisome trends:

• The number of vulnerabilities in our software is increasing.
• Attacks have largely shifted from operating systems to web applications, hence the inclusion of Joomla!, Wordpress and Drupal.
