Apple users beware!Posted by Paul on March 31st, 2005

Well, it is happening more and more.  All those nasty people who wrote all those nasty bugs that have plagued us unfortunate Windows users are turning their attention to the sweetheart of the computer world, the Mac:

Attacks on Apple’s OS X operating system, thought by many who use
the Mac to be virtually immune from hackers, are on the rise, according
to a report from Symantec, an anti-virus software vendor.

"Contrary
to popular belief, the Macintosh operating system has not always been a
safe haven from malicious code," said the report, which was issued on
Monday. "It is now clear that the Mac OS is increasingly becoming a
target for the malicious activity that is more commonly associated with
Microsoft and various Unix-based operating systems."
