"Apple could afford to put security as a lower priority for many years because hackers always went after Windows instead." They kind of just snuck this backhanded comment in at the end of the article. I don't know if it's true or not, but either it's the opinion of the reporter in an otherwise "non-opinion" article, or there should be some cited source that has actual insight into Apple's internal history around security issues. Otherwise, it's just unsubstantiated conjecture tacked into the end of a news article.
