Its only getting this much publicity because its aimed at Mac's, plenty of bigger virus's have hit Windows computers.

I know, MS has been the target for years. Just curious as to why all of a sudden they are now targeting Apple.

I'm of the opinion that apple has been targeted for longer than the company or the industry either will acknowledge or knows about. This may be wrong but I think there is more then is being let on.

As apple products become more popular we will see more malware

because theres money to be made now - with all the icraps and istinks everywhere.. Before there was no reason for people making money off malware to code for apple OS's. Since the mass influx of their products in the past couple years, well....now they do have a financial incentive to code cross platform.

 

It's about time! Soooo sick of listening to everyone saying its impossible for an apple to get a virus. I actually wished this virus on some people! hahaha :}

Good point Adam. Guess the spammers and hacks will always go where the money is
