If a robber is going to pillage a neighborhood, he is going to start with the houses where the owners don't lock their doors.
===========
In which case by sheer numbers that would still be Windows users (as soemone long AAPL I'll be looking forward to the day its Macs :-) , and even so the argument has always run that there arent enough of those Apple houses for anyone to bother looking for them. Plus, AFAIK this malware would also work on Windows?
In any case its pretty obvious that the robbers didnt start with the Apple houses (this is what, only the second ever big story about Mac malware, there must be multiple dozens for Windows?), so by that argument, the Windows ones are the most vulnerable?
In any case, if it was just not locking doors, Mac's would be rife with malware, so the fact they aren't and that this one story rates a headline, proves that these analogies are way off base, one way or another.
(FWIW all those folks saying "well I don't know a single person who has this" and therefore jumping to the conclusion its not true there is such Malware, given the infection rate is meant to be 1% (which apparently is incredibly high ... 1% seems pretty low to me?), I know a lot of people with Macs but doubt I could name 100.)
Anyway, getting back to the fact this is an investment forum, AFAICS all this story does, is confirm that many Macs are being sold .... not a good thing in a tankwatch forum surely :-) |
