Mark Sunner, CTO of MessageLabs, said: ?Now, as Macs become more popular, we?re seeing an increase in attacks targeting OS X.? Greg Day, senior antivirus researcher at McAfee, said his company?s recent Global Threat Report found evidence to support that claim.

Day told silicon.com: ?Microsoft has the biggest bull?s-eye on it but there?s a lot of interest in Apple right now. There have been more vulnerabilities discovered in OS X than in XP over the past two years.?

Day said 95 vulnerabilities have been discovered in XP during that time compared to 238 in OS X.
