Symantec is trying to scare us Mac OS X users to buy whatever they can come up with by publishing an article about how a growing number of Mac users will make them a target for evil attacks. Dan Knight of Low End Mac comes with some pretty good answers.

I can add an answer of my own:

Which cracker or hacker in his/her right mind would ever want to attack a Mac? Macs are untouchable and I don

Refalm:
On top of that Mac users tend to be smarter.

It's funnier to send a Windows user a trojan named "SpongeBob_screensaver.exe", and actually opens it!

Calum:
you could rename it to spongebob_sreensaver.src and it would look more convincing, and would still run just as maliciously and effectively

M51DPS:
Of course security would become a much bigger problem if all of the sudden Macs had a huge market share, but it seems like these are the kind of people who would want to blow this out of proportion. Why wouldn't they want you to think you are in terrible danger? They make their money from that idea.

sjor:
Unlike Microsoft, Apple gives security updates every month. It appears every time when you go on the net until you download.
