Symantec study warns of more OS X attacks
Security vendor Symantec is warning that Apple's OS X operating system is increasingly becoming a target for hackers and malware authors.

Just scanning over the headlines this must be the week the world will collapses in the area IT security.

I have a Mac and Linux boxes also. So I am not speaking out of my hat when I say that I still am not worried. The primary reason I dropped Windows was because of the speed that exploits were fixed in the other OSes. I suppose it was only a matter of time till the bad guys expanded their horizons. Beating up on the skinny redhead kid on the playground can only be fun for so long.
