That's simply not true. Macs are often said to be easier to take down.
However, a vulnerability on the Mac isn't worth as much (on the black-market) as a vulnerability on Windows. So people keep trying to break Windows. Even if you tried to sell a Mac vulnerability, the people who make botnets wouldn't be interested, as they can buy Windows vulnerabilities instead.
pwn2own is the only show in town where a Mac vulnerability is worth roughly the same as a Windows one.
