Privacy, Security, Encryption So, you think that since there are so few holes in your Mac OS that you're invulnerable to attack? That may be true for Trojans and viruses, but it's not the case for phishing attacks that can be fiendishly deceptive and destructive. Not worried yet? Read this column and you might think again.

I'm assuming this was posted today was a slow news day. Or perhaps just for a flamewar laugh.

This is not news, not technical and not interesting.

Someone journalistic member should write an article for a mac publication about how Windows users are pox in the internet. They're a disease destroying the world/internet. They're the ones pumping out spam by the bazillions. Those botnets are where most of these phishing scams originate. We should all be shocked to discover this and we can have another flame war on osNOTnews.

I totally agree with that. While the threat for Macs is still imaginary, we have billions of windows machines pumping out spam. Nobody seems to care. It's just, you know, life!
