Question for computer geeks:

Is it Windows security sucks compared to other OS or hackers just like attacking Windows because of more “bang for the buck”?

Yes, and yes.

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.

Bang for the buck. This story is a poser as Google is pushing their OS.
