Naw. This is just FUD. I mean it’s coming from Accenture ffs.
Keep calm and keep computing.
Yeah I’m not exactly in a hurry here, but more widespread malware is still just a question of incentive. macOS isn’t invulnerable, it’s just mainly been a smaller and less easy target so it’s not gotten the same sort of attention as Windows
Every software has holes. Not saying macOS is bullet proof. But it’s much harder to infect thanks to its Unix core and the fact the entire OS is on a read only partition. That with their own anti malware tool (Gatekeeper) that took on a much more active roll in macOS’s defenses come Ventura.
I’m far more worried Apple replaces macOS or closes it just like all their other OSes and we end up bouncing between jailbreaks.
Yep. Seems to be a sensationalized piece that basically boils down to “Mac market share in enterprise is now more than a rounding error, so hackers might start targeting it”
Anker did just that. Turned out you could just copy paste the url into VLC and watch someone’s feed without them even knowing. They suppressed the info and hid.
I agree, Accenture is not a reliable source.
“Does your company have macs? Mac attacks are up 1000% percent. If you don’t have the IT resources to install antivirus on all your shiny macs, you can pay us to do it for you.”
