New Security Feature Added to Mountain Lion Preview

Apple released an update to the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Preview 4 yesterday afternoon. The system will now do daily checks for security updates and will install them automatically or upon restarting your Mac.

TUAW:

This shows Apple’s growing concern about malware attacks on the Mac platform, particularly after the Flashback attack earlier this year. The system also includes a more secure connection to Apple’s update servers.

Apple says that any developers who have downloaded and installed the Mountain Lion Developer Preview 4 should install this update as soon as possible.

Mountain Lion should be available next month in the Mac App Store for $19.99.
