No operating system is completely immune to security threats, and that includes Apple's OS X.

Probably OpenBSD is not invulnerable but
how many guys in the world can break it
from the outside?Less than 100 inmho.
Probably Solar Designer
and a few others,but if you have that kind
of people after you than you will never be
safe but guys like that don't go for the
general population so to speak.If you are
a client on the internet and you don't offer
services and you use some *nix then you're
safe for the next few years.If you are
offering some services take your time
and harden your machine and you'll sleep
better.
Breaking an OS has become a lot like
encryption nowadays..
It can be broken but it will take you an
amount of time and resources that
you have to think it over if it's worth it
or not.
