Mac Malware: Maybe Mac Users Are Just More Wary

by Angela on May 19, 2011


When you dump your PC and enter the promised land of the Mac world, concerns about malware and other evils fade away.

This article, Malware on the Mac: is there cause for concern? Ars investigates, looked the malware on the Mac, and reports:

“Tom Bridge, a partner at a firm called Technolutionary, seemed to think that Mac users might be better at avoiding malware because of previous experiences on other platforms. ‘We have yet to see a single one of the Macs we support be hit by MAC Defender or its like,’ Bridge told Ars. ‘We have clients that have been taken by these scams before on PCs, and perhaps they are just more well educated against this particular type of scam, but generally speaking, we’re not seeing this here in the DC area.’”

Maybe Mac users are more wary, or they’re lucky. Or maybe Macs are built to withstand most attempts to subvert its platform.
