Story: Outrage at Symantec's OS X claims
Posted by: Jay Weiss (Tuesday 22 March 2005, 11:04 PM)
I think that Symantec is correct. The user base for Mac OS X is increasing and this will bring about more attacks by hackers.
HOWEVER, Mac OS X and BSD Unix are the least vunerable of major computer operating systems according to several internet security organizations.
I wonder if Symantec is planning new security products or upgrades for Mac OS X and if this announcement is part of its marketing plan.
I think that companies who invoke panic and then sell us the solution to the "problem" are despicable.
