Very simply: Nothing is secure. To think that your platform is "secure" just because it does not have a history of compromises is like saying that guns can't kill people because you've never seen someone get shot. Lets ask a few important questions. What provisions does Apple have in place to respond quickly to a serious security threat? How long does it take Apple to release a patch for a security issue? Lets also remember that OS X inherits many security problems from FreeBSD sheerly by design....Problems that Apple takes far too long to fix in its own implementation. IMHO Apple's Unix implementation is nothing more than a kludge on its best day. Don't buy so much into the Steve Jobs "Reality Distortion Field" that you miss the obvious.
