Re: Lies! said by ender7074:.... Why make any kind of virus or malware for a platform that is less than 10% of the total platforms out there? True that most exploits are now injected to create botnets to do nefarious things. Thus targeting windows users who are the majority of computers makes sense. Most malware runs on XP right now, it's got the biggest penetration, and it's easy to do. (OS X and vista are more secure out of the box.)
If it were easy to create malware for the mac, it would be done also do supplement the botnets. You really think they wouldn't do something easy that would add to their profit. It's just that not a single person on the planet has proven that it's "easy" to build a malware exploit for OS X.
Both Vista and OS X are HUGE targets for the small number of hackers who still care to be the guy who cracks those systems in easy and unique ways. These hackers are working on exploiting OS X and Vista constantly. |
