Researcher raps Apple for not blocking stolen SSL certificates

"A security researcher criticized Apple for what he called "foot
dragging" over the DigiNotar certificate fiasco, and urged the
company to quickly update Mac OS X to protect users. "We're
looking at some very serious issues [about trust on the Web] and
it doesn't help matters when Apple is dragging its feet," said
Paul Henry, a security and forensics analyst with Arizona-based
Lumension. Unlike Microsoft, which updated Windows Tuesday to
block all SSL (secure socket layer) certificates issued by
DigiNotar, Apple has not updated Mac OS X to do the same."

Perhaps Apple was too busy commandeering local police officials to
assist in trying to recover a lost iPhone prototype? Priorities!
