Yes i never seen a virus on a unix or linux box, but i wouldnt be doubting someone out there is trying to exploit one of the thousands of security vulnerabilities on MAC OSX.... OSX might be based on BSD, but soon as steve jobs adds all those pretty bells and whistles to the operating system and complicates and bloats the code, there is bound to be some serious security flaws.

Empirical evidence would seem to indicate otherwise...

You don't use Mac OSX much, do you?
