...was that Mac users are smug and complacent, that they are ignoring their vulnerabilities. To wit, "I worry that we do not take security seriously enough as a community."
What, pray tell, are Mac users *not* doing (in their complacency) that they *should* be doing? Are they not updating their software as often as other users? Do they not run firewalls? Do they not backup data? Are they not spending millions of dollars for security software? Are they somehow *more* complacent than other users?
Where's the data? Whose *scientific* survey or research was quoted?
This is just another example of shoddy I-got-a-deadline tech journalism. The reference to the SANS trash should be enough to tip you off. If he really wanted to do the Mac community a service, he could expose the security software ripoff that's been sucking millions from Mac users for years to protect them from ghosts and goblins.
