> Security through obscurity is a bad practice, but sometimes it really works. Exotic platforms tend not to get much malware, not because they lack security vulnerabilities, but simply because knowledge of how they work (and in many cases, even opportunity to acquire that knowledge) is rare. More importantly, the return per hour spent to write that malware is lower. There are fewer macs, though knowledge is widespread, so there are more windows viruses because there is a larger pool of victims.
