=================
Because of the way Apple had configured the update, anyone who clicked
OK automatically installed the company's Web browser. Most users thought
that Safari was simply a component of the Apple software they'd already
installed, Wilson said.

"This is not good; this is a security risk," he said. "We're a bank."

Umm... Maybe it is just me, but isn't the security risk allowing users
to install any software that they want?
