I believe that is yet another way to say that IE security sucks.

I wouldn't necessarily agree. Or that Apples are more secure because Windows sucks. Microsoft products are bigger targets. Hackers would rather invest their energy doing the most damage.

A common myth. And quite wrong.

Microsoft software is more easily exploitable. That's why they're targeted.

Just like bank robbers hit local banks but not Fort Knox.

I think it's more a matter of windows being the lowest-hanging fruit due to design decisions made years ago that have still not been corrected. It's been shown many times over that security through obscurity isn't all it's cracked up to be.
