good story A!
I would think that Mac/Apple users would be a very attractive target for the nefarious characters that traffic viruses and such. Most Mac users have thought there were untouchable for so long that they are not used to dealing with the shit you can encounter and get tangled up with; coupled with the tendancy for Mac users to have this "air of superiority" (present company excluded of course) I almost want to get into the MalWare biz just to spite them. It would almost be like rollin through the ghetto in your 911 Carrera Turbo, top down, 20" rims blingin, blarrin some cracker hillbilly country music and then parkin on front of a crack house getting out of the car and just leavin the keys in the ignition. Shouldnt be too shocked when ya come back from your transaction to find your ride has been confiscated by someone thinking they are more deserving.

I ain't starting a flame war, simply because... they never were immune. The only reason Mac users are protected (usually) is because there are so few that target an Apple OS.

As I understand it, there has never been any discussion on MACs being "immune". Ignored is really the case and has been all along, until now.
