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.

What you miss is that Mac viruses exist. The "Simpsons" worm was one. Nobody got "fame" because spreading a virus is an illegal act in the majority of the west. Most people write Windows viruses these days for the profit of owning thousands of PCs. Something they could easily do with OS X if its share increased much.
