More malware coming for Macs

Hackers and malware creators are clearly taking a greater degree of interest in the ever growing community of Mac owners with the discovery of the OSX.RSPlug.A Trojan masquerading as a video plug-in at some porn sites, diverting some of their attention away from the Windows world to try their hand at hacking the Mac. Now more than ever with the launch of Leopard, any of Apple’ Mac models are excellent, multipurpose computers that are easy to use, have a wealth of native software available, are fully compatible with PCs right down to native or virtual running of Windows.

The number of Mac owners and users is growing quarter by quarter, and while they won’t outnumber Windows users anytime soon, as there has never been a better time to buy a Mac.

Apple’s user base is growing better than ever and it’s like honey to the bee for hackers and malware writers, meaning there’s never been a better time to try to hack the Mac – or just hack their users through ‘social engineering’ tricks.
