Story: Mac users 'must wise up to social engineering'

Comments such as the ones I've read here from Mac users more than reinforce the writer's discussion. If these people are a representative cross-section of the Mac community, then I can understand why 2006 has been touted as the year that the Mac platform becomes a major target of the 'bad guys'. Personally I could not possibly care less what OS anyone prefers to use, but in a general sense it's dismaying to read such comments, especially those who've decided that because they understand the risks, everyone else does too. This is the attitude that allows the bad guys to keep plying their trade.
