Mac OS X security under scrutiny
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2005-11-29

When the SANS Institute, a computer-security training organization, released its Top-20 vulnerabilities last week, the rankings continued an annual ritual aimed at highlighting the worst flaws for network administrators.

The usual 'the sky is falling' routine in the form of '..since Mac has such a small market share, it is not productive to write viri...'

The reason the Mac is sooo much safer than MS is that YOU have to literally FORCE a virus or trojan get onto your system. YOU. No sneaky stuff like MS allows. And who would do that?

And guess who is warning us? The SAME folks who make anti-virus ware!
