SECUNIA SAID there are potential vulnerabilities in the Mac OS X operating system, first noticed by Tom Ferris.

The firm described the holes as "highly critical", meaning that systems could be compromised if crooks dive in.

Secunia said the potential holes are in version 10.4.6, but other versions might be affected too.

Until the holes are filled in, don't visit untrusted web sites, or open ZIP archives or images which come flying your way and that look a tad dodgy.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
