It could be because MACS are not a big market and the perception is that most of the hacking attacks take place more on PC’s then Macs.

How large does that Mac market have to get before the crackers and crooks take notice of all those naked unprotected computers blythely surfing the Internet and start writing nasty ware for them, Biggirl? Ten million? Twenty? Thirty? Would you be surprised to know there are almost Fifty million Mac OS X computers in use in the world.

Malware writers have written PC viruses for Windows PCs targeting vulnerable population numbering fewer than 12,000 machines.

Why do then they ignore 50,000,000 Macs? I assure it's not obscurity.

Could it be because PC’s are 80-90 percent of the computer population?

The sociopaths who write the viruses are all Windows (and before that, DOS) users.
