It’s possible to get a virus to spread among Macs, but today’s sophisticated attackers, widely believed to be part of international organized crime rings, want to infiltrate millions of machines around the world and rent them out to spammers, perpetrators of identity fraud and anyone else with cash and a plan. It’s far more profitable to focus on the machines that still have at least 90 percent of the market.


I do not wish ill on Mac users, despite the fact that most are morons, however it would be nice if they got hit with one bad ass virus. Nothing damaging, just something to shove the smug up their ass.
