"Using a Mac may certainly be a safer choice for a lot of people as despite being vulnerable they are not targeted. However this is not the same as Macs being secure, something Eric Schmidt erroneously advised recently. I may be able to browse impervious to malware on a Mac at the moment, however I personally would not be comfortable using a platform so easily compromised if someone had the motivation to do so. In this article I address just why OS X is so insecure including the technical shortcomings of OS X as well as Apples policies as a company that contribute to the situation."

For starters, there's the one mentioned here several times in the last month or two (MacDefender), as well as 3 mentions in the comments for this story alone.
Backpedaling noted. Your original claim was, and I quote:
Nothing mentioned there about scale, you'll note.
Where did anyone claim there's a "massive list of attacks"? Or are one of those Apple apologists who just finds it easier to argue against strawmen?
Your argument still amounts to nothing more than "la la la la, I'm not listening, security vulnerabilities don't exist until they're exploited." And you'll probably continue spouting that line right up until the day that there is large-scale OS X exploit.
