The sky is falling: Hackers targeting Macs?

Well, since the New Year is fast approaching and we haven't had a good tech-oriented end of the world fiasco since back in the Y2K era, people are scrambling for tech-related doom and gloom stories. Here is one such story, pointing out that hackers *may be* targeting the Mac now. The article is based on a Symantec study that showed that Macs are not impervious to attack and that since Mozilla-based browsers are so darn popular on the Mac end of things, that the security issues of Firefox and Mozilla over the past year indicate possible future problems.

My take: Sounds like a study funded by Microsoft. I'm also not sure if I trust Symantec's findings in Mac security, considering their own recent issues in that area.
