The MAJOR (and very dangerous) SSL bug isn&#8217;t mentioned in the release notes that appear in Software Update, but the bug is mentioned on Apple&#8217;s security page for the update. Seems Apple is being their usual shity selves when it comes to security &#8211; hide or lie about it, sort of hiding the fact that this is so important.<\/p>\n<p>To be a &#8216;little&#8217; fair, this update does add some features but over all is really a bug fix of many major issues with the new Operating System. In Windows terms it would be called a full Service Pack.<\/p>\n<p>As with any large Operating System upgrade\/update you should of course back up your system \u2013 Use Time Machine or any other method I\u2019ve described in previous posts.<\/p>\n<p>Run the Software Update to update your system to 10.9.2 and if any other software shows updates available, select them too. If you\u2019d like you can grab the full <a href=\"http:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/DL1726\">Combo update here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have Mountain Lion it too has an update available &#8211; run Software Update to get it.<\/p>\n<p>Please make sure if you run an Apple desktop or laptop computer that you update as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Be safe, Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently wrote about the major security whole in the latest version of OS X \u2013 read my last post.
