Attack on Macs

May 01 2007

By Ira Winkler

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that we are continuing to see major vulnerabilities in Macs. Mac hacks have been around for over 20 years. The reason why we haven’t seen a significant number of attacks against Macs in the last decade is that they are not an attractive target as there is not as much of an installed base when compared to Microsoft. It is that simple.

Now that Mac is attracting more attention and Microsoft is strengthening their development processes, we will start to see many more attacks, making the Mac commercials criticizing Vista security, making them look stupid.
