Lookin' out for the little guy is rough around the edges
roundup There's no time off from Internet threats. A flaw common to Firefox and IE could leak passwords, while a security hole in Mac OS X is among the latest in a promised month of bugs.

Reading up on the blog, looks like this guy is a bit wild, but possibly looking for a job somewhere.
If he isn't hired he atleast is trying to alert people, to quote:
There's no security update from Apple right now, thus I would like to strongly recommend a higher level of caution.Don't download DMG files, don't get them off untrusted sources (ex. P2Pnetworks) and disable the Safari feature for opening this kind of filesafter downloading (via Preferences -> General -> Open 'safefiles' after download).
I don't like the potential propoganda element in it, but I'm glad he's taking responsibility for it. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't doing "live test cases."
