In Apple fans targeted by smut-punting malware
Are you that desperate for attention to your whiney little "cause" that you feel the need to post stuff like that on threads that having nothing to do with either Linux or Windows? Why don't you toddle off to twitter or facebook or something and leave El Reg for people with something worthwhile to say.. or at the very least you know, on topic
Speaking of the topic..
Apple need to get on top of the situation as regards to Apple security, the dangers of social-engineering attacks are well known and the non-technical nature of the average mac user (along with their somewhat false sense of security) makes them ripe targets for such attacks. Microsoft adopted the ostrich-position in the early days and has been playing catch-up for years as a result, in the long run its cost them a lot of time and money they didn't need to spend. Apple would do well to do their history homework.
