Has Flashback malware made you consider installing antivirus on your Mac?

Has Flashback malware made you consider installing antivirus on your Mac? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Hello Mac users, welcome to the problems facing Windows users!

 

Now Mac users are facing a far more serious threat. Having your Mac as part of a botnet, and having malware on the system that’s sniffing passwords is a big deal indeed, and far scarier than some fake security popup. Flashback is serious malware. Unless you do some digging around on your system, you won’t even know it’s there.

 

That’s serious. But is it serious enough to get Mac users to protect their Macs?

 

I hope so, because ===> this incident has highlighted how wide open Mac users are to attacks, and it’s clear that Apple doesn’t have their backs covered. <===

Researchers from Kaspersky Lab supplied more evidence that there are more than 500,000 Macs infected by the Flashback malware. If correct, that would represent more than 1 percent of Macs out there.
