hackers just like attacking Windows because of more “bang for the buck”?

Any hacker who would make the first real security issue for MacOS would be the most famous hacker on the planet.

There is a genuine reason for the security of MacOS and it is not because the hackers ignore Macs.

At a Mac conference 2 years ago, someone took one of the challenges and hacked a Mac via a Firefox exploit in under an hour. I wouldn’t feel exactly safe on any platform attached to the internet.
