Well, we're getting a Mac invasion here and there is zero apparent concern for 
managing these things or worrying about vulnerabilities. To get to AD resources 
they're standing up Win7 VM's but doing as much work as possible on the native 
MacOS.

They can get to the Internet, file shares, printers, e-mail, etc on native Mac 
but I just have alarms going off in my head "unmanaged machines with no idea 
what intellectual property is on them".

I remember the big "mac virus" recently was socially engineered - but that's 
definitely the mac's biggest vulnerability. Given that mac users generally 
believe they are invulnerable, its an arguably bigger vector than the same one 
on a Windows system.

Does anyone have a link to an article or two that shows vulnerabilities that 
have actually been exploited? Preferably not a random blog post...
