Macs facing more malware than PCs
Yep, Macs were only "immune because no hackers used to care. Mac users might even be the anti-vaxxers of the computer world.

I read the rebuttal to this in my feed, but I can't find the link. Basically, the increased number isn't really viruses or trojans, it's fake aps, adware, that kind of thing, that users have stupidly installed on their own.
So it doesn't reflect on Mac OS security, but it does seem to suggest that Mac users are dumber than PC users.

everything is at risk regardless of what you do, just be lucky you don't get targeted by a group or person or bots depending on how much you earn or what your job is or title

Actually I can call it what I want.
If it's incased in a box it's a personal computer aka PC.
If it's incased in a tiny box it's a mini PC.
If there's keyboard on it with a touchpad and a folding screen it's a laptop.
If it's a tiny device with a touch screen it's a smartphone.
If the touch screen device is the size of a pad, it's a tablet.
Fight me!
