Hey everyone,
I want to warn you all about a serious security issue that a swedish hacker and security researcher named Emil Kvarnhammar discovered in OS X Yosemite, called "Rootpipe". It allows a hacker to gain root access to your computer without needing a password.
Here's an article on it: http://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/rootpipe-hacker-mac/
There's many articles on it around the web, so it's definitely real.
If this has been fixed by Apple in a new update or patch without my knowing, then I'm sorry for the post and I'd love to know so I can start using Yosemite.
Hope this helps someone.
Happy Hackintoshing,
