Mac security and crying Wolf
- Kylekramer 15y agoConsidering how The Boy Who Cried Wolf ends, maybe we should take each article's merits individually and not just make fun of them?
- joebadmo 15y agoAgree. And you turn the point around very nicely. I don't think Gruber used a very good metaphor to make his point. He also doesn't provide any sort of counter-argument. I'm curious as to whether he thinks there actually is something about the Mac that makes it more resistant to hackers/malware.
- iramiller 15y agoOne thing I have noticed in the Mac security space over the last few months are increasing occurrences of Trojans. It seems that with the lessons Apple has learned with curated app stores and the launch of the Mac App store Apple may actually be working hard to mitigate this risk. As an example I have an easier time telling my mother in law that if she wants to install software on her iMac use the app store. Compare that with trying to educate my dad on what is safe to put on his laptop.
