Apple should fix any security hole, regardless of 
the likelihood of it being used. Intego should 
protect from every threat, regardless of it being 
found or used by malwarts. What neither company 
should do is cause for press releases to occur 
when they are just doing their job. Apple does 
not advertise their security fixes. Intego makes 
sure the press is aware of every proof of concept 
that they can find regardless of its existence in 
the wild nor the likelihood it anyone finding it.
