BBC: Teach our kids about safe Mac computing

It's the end of innocence, according to the BBC, the time when you'll have to sit down your children and tell them about the birds, the bees, and the recent Mac Trojan (no, not that kind of Trojan) security compromises. There's little new or ground breaking in the BBC article but their adherence to the Safe-Sex/Safe-Computing paradigm is pretty hilarious. We all knew that as the Mac became more popular as a platform that it would start to be attacked more regularly and last week's exploits confirms this new reality.

On the one hand, a wider installation base means better software and easier repairs. On the other hand, Mac OS X security becomes a bigger and bigger target.
