jargen Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Its only getting this much publicity because its aimed at Mac's, plenty of bigger virus's have hit Windows computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, MS has been the target for years. Just curious as to why all of a sudden they are now targeting Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icekohl Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin-Nation-Servers Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As apple products become more popular we will see more malware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnp Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I know, MS has been the target for years. Just curious as to why all of a sudden they are now targeting Apple. 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 :} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
