Apple users are updating to OS X Mavericks in large numbers, but not fast enough. Corporate users in particular have been slow to upgrade, which could have serious security implications.
Apple is famous for the secrecy around its product and service launches.
===> It's unfortunate it has decided that the safety of Mac users should also require reading tea leaves. <===

A quarterly threat report found password-stealing Trojans on the rise...
PC malware had its "busiest quarter in recent history," according to McAfee's quarterly security report released Wednesday.
The security company registered the biggest increase in malware in four years during the first quarter of this year, bringing the total number of samples to 83 million. Fake antivirus programs declined in popularity, but software with faked security signatures, rootkits and password-stealing Trojans rose.
===> New malware for the Mac exploded in the second quarter of 2011 <===

So Mac invulnerability to malware is a myth, at least according to security researchers from Kaspersky Lab.
And although such a blunt statement may be a blow to the ego of some Mac users, it remains true.

A new Trojan known as “Sabpab” could hurt Mac users who run Java and Microsoft Word. Security researchers are warning users to make sure their computers

In some cases, manual removal of Sabpab may be needed.
Word about Sabpab comes on the heels of another nasty piece of malware, Flashback, that infected up to as many as 600,000 Macs, security experts said, by exploiting a vulnerability in Java software.
Apple last week issued a software-base removal tool for that malware, which can be used by criminals to steal personal information, including passwords.
