Apple pushes its first ever silent, automatic security update to Mac OS X to fix NTP bug

Apple has pushed out its first ever automatic security update to Mac OS X users, fixing a vulnerability in NTP that would've allowed hackers to turn Macs into DDoS zombies. In some ways, this finally brings Apple up to parity with Microsoft: Windows has technically had the ability to do automatic updates for a long time. Rather impressively, the OS X security patch should install transparently, with no need to restart.
