While I agree that the headline is inflammatory (and kinda stupid) we shouldn't forget about its key message.
That is that a MacOS computer isn't completely secure, just like windows.
I've seen a ton of MacOS users who would run practically everything they'd get sent because "Macs don't get virusses, only windows".
Security best practices should always be followed, even if some devices are better protected than others.
The key sentence in the article (for me) is this one:
> many Mac users tend to be overly confident because they believe in Apple's message and think their systems are immune to malware and will protect them.
- tinus_hn 9y agoIt’s still true that the fact that you are not in the Microsoft monoculture makes you much less of a target.
- Lievelingsduif 9y agoTrue being a Linux or OSX user makes you a smaller target, if you're personally targeted you're usually SOL. It's also hard to deny that OSX is becoming more and more of a target.
