![]() ![]() ![]() A steel door is more secure than a wooden one no matter how many more people have wooden doors. I know I’m not that bright but I mean for me it was common sense the first time I thought about it. I still fail to see why people cling to this “world is flat” idea that windows is more vulnerable because more people use it. (besides a windows box not powered on) If market-share determines security then why does apache have more market-share as a web server than IIS yet fewer vulnerabilities by platform? I’ll tell you why because better code determines security not market-share. ![]() Let’s get this out of the way once and for all/until the next parrot says the same thing shall we? Market-share has absolutely zero to do with Mac OS X being an inherently more secure computer operating system than any variant of windows. Please leave your critical thinking skills at the door. Welcome to the club de parrots you are now a member. So while Mac users can still smile about a more secure OS, they shouldn’t sit their and believe that they are immune from everything and anything.Ĭongratulations! Symantec You are the 978599 company to spew this complete utter fallacy. Now, becoming a larger target doesn’t mean people are going to hit you as easily as other targets, but it doesn’t mean they won’t ever try. The perfect example is Firefox: while Firefox may still be more secure than IE, the fact is people are starting to target Firefox to get around certain things Firefox has in place. Any belief to the contrary is delusional. Rather than dismiss the message because the messenger is trying to sell the product, at least realize that what they are saying is true: As Macs grow in number, they will increasingly become targets. That’s not a reflection of the lack of Apple’s lack of quality, just a fact of life. ![]() The simple fact is that OSX is going to have vulnerabilities as well. I mean, there was already the case of Mac OSX trojan a while back. Frankly, if I were a virus writer, this type of attitude would thrill me. It’s weird that people are so quick to dismiss the message just because of the messenger. ![]()
