Finally? Hardly .Malware and Macs go back to at least 1982. That "immune" myth is just that.

Yep. The Flashback Trojan... but hardly the first.

The only reason fewer viruses are tailored to iOS is because there are fewer users (except tablets), and the animus targeted at MS.

As more Macs get sold, they will be more targeted since the idea that iOS is somehow more secure than Windows is completely erroneous.

Be nice to see them switch their focus for a change. Not that I wish any bad on Mac users but just enough to kick their complacency hard in the pants.
