Some people say there’s no malware for macOS and that’s obviously not true.
But others say macOS has malware so it’s no better than Windows in that regard, but I don’t think that’s true either.
Look at this example. It only works if it tricks users into downloading and running an unsigned executable, bypassing sometimes multiple warnings.
The Mac’s biggest defense has long been that it plays second fiddle to Windows.
But with iOS, arguably, being top banana, and Mac now running iPhone software in a Mac costume, I expect a lot more in-the-crossfire vulnerabilities.
