Oh dear, were you turned down by Apple or something!

Of course everything is vulnerable to a degree, even a Rolls Royce will "fail to proceed"

No but l laugh at the macs are safe windows are totally unsafe comments. Macs are good (very) just not bombproof.

The first one was two years ago and there will have been more since. The last one shows the amount of vulnerabilities are increasing as macs become more popular.

There have been plenty more in the past as well - though the near religious fanaticism of (some) Mac owners has tended to write many off as 'not viruses' as they had to be 'accepted' by the user - something PC owners termed viruses eons ago.

And I seem to remember that the first known/recorded Virus was actually for an Apple machine!

More naturally secure; far fewer, so less worthwhile to attack. But vulnerable all the same! After a couple of huge incidents involving > 600K has dropped the 'Macs don't get viruses' line! I've seen a list of Mac viruses that go back to 2004!

So don't be complacent!
