Mac Vulnerabilities Increase Five-Fold in 2010
Mac OS vulnerabilities rose from 34 in 2009 to 175 in 2010. Even more problematic is the fact that there are 5,000 classified strains of malware that specifically target Apple systems.
In response to growing security problems, Panda Security has decided to step in and create an Apple-specific antivirus program called Antivirus for Mac.
Ironically, Ivan Fermon, senior vice president of product management at Panda Security, admits that despite their high number of vulnerabilities, the Windows OS family is currently more secure than the Mac OS family, because Microsoft has continued to work proactively on security for years now.
