Mac users smugly secure?

I
feel Bill Thompson's pain, I really do. He wrote an article for the BBC called Mac users 'too smug' over security, which despite the snarky title (hey, we're the only people who are allowed to be snarky!) raises some valid concerns. Macs aren't immune to security issues, though they are much better perpared and defended than Windows. Does this make them invunerable?
No.

Simply by stating this obvious fact Bill has had to deal with a tidal wave of email from angry Mac users telling him what's for. So much so that he has written a followup article that clarifies his position on Macs and security. It is well worth your time to read and think about.

Thanks, Nick.
