As Macs gain popularity, hackers take notice
http://feeds.macuser.com/click.phdo?i=2f28b329e02067ce0d93ec92caadfccf
With the good news of Apple products gaining mainstream popularity and acceptance comes the bad news that seems to occur whenever something cool becomes really, really popular. Just like back in high school, when those annoying "posers" started repping your favorite underground band, or when the hipsters took over your favorite nightspot, we privileged Mac users must now deal with unwanted attention from hackers.
One of the nicest benefits of being a Mac user has always been the relative lack of viruses and malware available for Mac. While some tout the architecture of the Mac OS as the reason behind the lack of viruses, others believe it simply to be a matter of numbers. Why make a virus that will only infect a miniscule percentage of PC users when you could go for the other 90% with a Windows virus? While many of you may think the "more marketshare = more vulnerabilities" theorem is merely FUD, there may be some credence to it. After all, as more and more malicious folk begin to poke around for exploits, the chances of one being found increase, do they not?
According to a Yahoo! News report hackers are indeed taking increasing aim at iPhones and Macs alike. Zero Day Initiative security vulnerability analyst Cameron Hotchkies notes that with Apple's newfound mainstream popularity, "there are more eyes looking over Apple products for vulnerabilities".
While I'm not exactly springing for the McAfee Virus Protection software just yet, this may be an increasing concern as Mac usage continues to grow. Let's hope Apple can keep up with what the bad guys start to throw at it.
