ZDNet - Hardware 2.0: Modern Mac owners need to ignore the dinosaurs and get protection
I can't believe that we're still having a discussion over whether or not the bad guys have begun targeting Mac users. I really can't. I'm truly staggered by the fact that people who have been around computers for decades and who are supposedly keeping their finger on the tech pulse are still clinging on for dear life to the notion that Mac is somehow immune of invulnerable to modern malware.
