    Cool...finally hackers are targeting the Macs...time for revenge Windows users...just kidding.

    P.S. How much do hackers get paid to infect a Windows PC? Bet you it's 4.3 cents per PC...high supply, lower price No wonder more Windows PCs are infected...hackers need to infect a lot to make more money....hahahaha
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

    Windows hacking is probably their practice coz it's easy for them.

    worst scenario :

    I as a mac user what will I do when a malware struck my beloved mac OSx ?

    Only a small portion of Mac community really cares for mac security.

    True, they used their Mac too long without facing any threats, so they don't care about the security.

    They have a false sense of security. Reality is catching up with them. ESET, Kaspersky, etalia now have an entire new emerging market...was it planned?
    Mankind hates what it fears, and fears what it cannot understand.
    Therefore, hatred is a by-product of ignorance!
