Why on earth would people want to hack onto mac systems?Good question. Maybe the hackers are getting bored with screwing up Windows users. They want to get the last 5% of the market.

Why on earth would people want to hack onto mac systems? Like Rush's or the President's? I can think of a couple of reasons hackers would like to do that.

Why on earth would people want to hack onto mac systems? Maybe they want a challenge.

Why on earth would people want to hack onto mac systems?Perhaps because they are finally getting to a market share which is signifigant enough to attract hackers. The Mac "immunity to hackers myth" was just that, a myth. Hackers rarely bothered the Mac world before now, as there wasn't sufficient numbers to justify their "cleverness".
With the rise of numbers in Mac usage, I would expect to see more, not less of this...
