With Apple products gaining more popularity, some hardcores are still in the dark believing that Apple software is much safer than the programs being run on a Microsoft based system. To add to the fact that Mac are more vulnerable that people think, ex-hacker, now security expert Marc Maiffret said that Apple systems haven’t really been in the spotlight due to their low market share, thus causing trojan and virus programmers to attack the PC because of its popularity.
He also added that with the Mac’s consumer market share growing, Apple has only begun to realize how serious the pending threats could have on their systems and are now working on trying to make their systems more secure rather than laying back and living on the hopes and dreams that no one would attack their systems.
Even though it will still be a while before the Mac becomes a target of big interest, users need to step into the light and realize that they are not 100% safe as they would think they are.
