Trojans in Mac

Found this article on new Apple Mac security exploits that are being used to create Trojans. As I have mentioned previously in this blog, as Mac increases in popularity, the more attractive it is for hackers. Mac did not have viruses/trojans, not because it was in some way secure, but rather because it did not have enough installs out there to be of interest to hackers. So it is Trojans now and if Mac does grow its market share, viruses and worms will come for sure.

Also Apple, with don't talk about security holes approach is not really helping its customers. More they know about what not to do, the better it is for them and better they can protect themselves.

Is this why I am not seeing the Mac vs PC Ad on viruses recently?? :)
