Pardon me but fuck a bunch of MACs.

Exposing the attackers is much, much better and far more fun!

MACs are only "safe" because they have held such a pitiful portion of the market, resulting in an unbelievable arrogance on the the part of MAC owners and a very,very false and complcetely unfounded sense of security; "We're safe!", "MACs are immune!" and such other similar horseshit. MACs simply were not worth bothering with for the bad guys because of the low market share.

The bad news is that now that MAC or Apple or whatever the fuck you want to call those travesties of electronic machines have a larger market share, the bad guys are targeting them and have run experimental attacks in order to improve the malware. With most MAC users virtually unprotected, one morning about 90% of them will wake up and find themselves botnetted or worse.

They will then cry and howl "UNFAIR!"; Apple stock will plummet and people will go back to where they should have been in the first place.

AND there is NOTHING wrong with my computer! It is an out-and-out attack from the earlier specified domain!

Sally.
