It is well known there are less attacks directed towards Macs because of the limited amount of marketshare of users.

Correction: It is an article of faith among those who dislike or hate Apple and its products for whatever reasons that OS X is attacked less because it is used less. OS X is attacked less than Windows because it is more protected than Windows.

Why siege the fortress when you can take out the unprotected villagers instead?

Good point, but from a hackers point of view, why target a few million macs when you can target several hundred million- a billion PCs?
