“Or words like “Show us a link proving that’s occurred in the wild, or it didn’t happen.” ‘

In security you don’t wait until something has happened. You base it on capabilities. Or would you prefer people do nothing and live in ignorance until their mac has been destroyed by malware?

Plus you guys rail at Microsoft everytime a patch is released to fix an issue, regardless of whether a hack has been done using that vulnerability.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

"In security you don’t wait until something has happened. You base it on capabilities. Or would you prefer people do nothing and live in ignorance until blah blah blah..."

In other words you have no evidence whatsoever. The very definition of FUD!

It's no surprise, because OS X has been remarkably free of malware--in fact, limited to users who stupidly install trojan'd software (such as cracked versions of commercial software dangled "for free" on warez sites) and grant it unwise permissions--and especially self-replicating viruses, of which there have been precisely zero in the wild, compared with millions of infestations in the Windows world.

Ignorance has nothing to do with it; many of us use OS X precisely because we're informed about security.

But I don't expect you to acknowledge that. You're too busy hating and hating and hating. When you're not spewing half-baked FUD.

Please show us, where "we guys" "rail at Microsoft everytime a patch is released to fix an issue, regardless whether a hack has been done using that vulnerability." SHOW US. You keep claiming this, but you continually fail to show it.
