I love both the Mac I use and the PC I use. You made a startling observation, however. You said that Macs are a TARGET of hackers, yet we have been hearing for years that Macs are IGNORED by hackers. This is no minor revelation. You gave us no background and no follow-up. You simply stated an opinion as if you had some facts. Have you got some inside information or are you just a drive-by poster?

Start digging around on some of the hacking boards that you can get access to and you'll see the trend. For various reasons I'm not going to post links or reveal much detail on what I do for a living, but a big part of my work requires me to monitor these activities. I am also relatively new to this field, but the collaborative targeting of Macs is indeed a recent phenomenon.
