The more market share Apple has the more of the scare tactics will crop up but as usual i continue to surf worry free.
Dunno why, but this made me think of: "The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems fall through your fingers".
The whole argument is very flaky IMHO, from the first quote:
Cyber criminals have now recognised that Mac is an interesting area. Now we have more, it’s not just Flashback or Flashfake. Welcome to Microsoft’s world, Mac. It’s full of malware.
Reaaaally?? Cyber punks are JUST NOW taking note of the platform? These guys need to get over themselves, quickly. As far back as I can remember, to my Windows days, it was always known that Mac users were (as said above) too smug for their own good, and that any black hat who could penetrate the all mighty Mac OS, would be praised by that community. (also said above)
The other dumb thing said:
Mac’s turn next to live that gauntlet? I wouldn’t say so. I expect Apple to realize, and address the issues quickly; I doubt this will get out of hand. However, if you do run OS X daily, some common sense and perhaps even some security software would not hurt.
So even with Unix at the core, and the entirely different OS which sets it apart from Windows, Apple is going to magically whip up full time defenses which will once again make it impenetrable? Wow. What a cozy prediction. Or could it simply be that the issue isn't exactly the issue they're making it out to be in the first place?
All I ever do is use logic and common sense, and I'm good to go. Didn't need that punk CEO to impart his glorious wisdom upon me... Pffft.
