Thanks to the SecurityCurve blog for posting this about Apple. The Mac users are going to get hard one day, and they are not going to be prepared. Yes, many of them use AV software, but my suspicion is that many do not run it because they don’t see a reason for it. Take a look at this post to see if you think I am wrong. Though the author admits that it may happen one day, he is just so smug (to use SecurityCurve’s analogy) that his Mac is just wonderfully immune right now.
What I see is this: Malware is more and more specific now days. It is written for monetary gain, not for kicks (it is possible someone may write something just to prove Apple wrong, but who knows). Apple will get more and more of the market. Their servers, because more people are using Macs in business, will start to get more popular (just like with Windows). Then more and more valuable data will be stored on Apple servers, and the possibility of monetary gain will increase. So the possibilty of malware will increase.
