well itīs quite obvious that the threats to the OS X will be bigger in a not so far away future, but at this time it is by far the most secure OS in the market. Features like keychain or filevault protects your confidential data to the hackers eyes, at this time i donīt know nobody who can decrypt a 128 AE bit encryption in real time... yes, in OS X we have military encryption methods. Also we have Kerberos protocol for the mail app. did i mention about the root access to run any installer? yes, OS X have some vulnerabilities, but if a hacker can access your data, he is not going to see it or destroy that data...
I canīt wait to see the security implementations to the fourth release of OS X, code named, tiger.... soon!
