In a video presented at the Black Hat USA conference in early August,  
SecureWorks researcher David Maynor and Jon Ellch demonstrated  
hacking into a MacBook, setting off a flurry of press coverage about  
the insecurity of Wi-Fi-enabled computers from Apple and PC vendors.

Now it seems SecureWorks is backing away from its suggestion that  
MacBooks are just as vulnerable as other Wi-Fi-capable computers. The  
company has posted a disclaimer on its site to make it clear that the  
demonstration at Black Hat used a modified MacBook.
