It is my understanding that no one, I repeat NO ONE, hacks a Mac because no one cares about their paltry market share. It's called "security by obscurity" and is proved to be the REAL reason that Macs haven't been hacked...

"Ignorance can be cured" Redux! (SM, I should have pinged you on the last post to the Clinton guy. my apology for improper form.)

I guess you haven't bothered to read this thread, huh? Macs are SECURE against the numerous ATTEMPTS to infect them. As of now, there are NO (read that as ZERO) successful attacks on OSX/any version. It isn't "obscurity", it is because it is a well designed (can we call it elegant?) codex, with lots of built-in safeguards.

Do you really think you fool anyone with "WE may need it on the mac some day"?
