You know, people keep trotting that old canard out, but despite heavy growth in Mac adoption, especially among the higher-end users (where the money is), it just hasn’t happened. The underlying Unix security model has a lot to do with it.

There have been two vulnerabilities on OS X in recent months. “Poodle” which was an SSL issue and BASH which was an issue with the shell program. Those aside, you are correct in that the security model is much better in Linux/Unix/ OS X

Except for one Chromebook, all my computing/communication devices are Apple; 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, a MacBook and an iMac. I've been using Macs since 2007. I'm still waiting for the viruses everyone has been telling me all this time are soon coming.
