Mac Malware Threat

It’s that time of year again.

Apple users, long blasé about viruses and malware, would be wise to pay attention to security, says McAfee. As with all the areas that the security company has identified here, the increasing popularity of the Mac OS platform - along with a “lack of user understanding of proper security for these devices” in McAfee’s words - make Apple a clear target for future attacks.

That was written today, December 28, 2010.

And this is what I blogged about on December 18, 2007.

But don’t get me wrong, I know that there are programs out there with bad intentions that are specifically designed for the Mac. My point with this is that everyone keeps saying that Macs are increasingly targeted by hackers because their market-share is increasing. But I have yet to see this happen.

I could probably write something similar annually.
