Although that's true, consider the larger context. One, Apple's market share has only been non-trivial in recent years, meaning since the x86 switch + the iPhone launch. Two, most viruses and hacks use the Trojan Horse method, basically attempting to trick the user into giving you something that they wouldn't normally give you. Three, even though Apple and its cult like to claim that OSX is secure, OSX automatically downloads patches, and Apple releases security patches nearly as frequently as Microsoft (but ironically isn't as diligent about closing security holes as Microsoft). To make these work, the people attempting to harvest data or simply cause harm have to play the odds. So the 100 to 1 ratio between Windows and Mac machines out there has historically been reason enough to ignore the mac as a target for hackers and viruses -- so it's very likely that as Apple's market share grows, and as people start using iPhones and iPads for more and more of their computing tasks, they'll increasingly become targets for hackers also.
