Mac attacks on the rise

Mac:  I’m a Mac and I feel great.

PC:  I’m a PC and I’ve got a virus so I don’t feel so great.

Mac:  I’m a Mac and I don’t get viruses.

PC:  My owner connected a new iPod to me and the next thing I knew I was not feeling very well.  Actually, security experts are seeing Mac attacks on the rise over last year.  Symantec says there were 72 security vulnerabilities identifed in Macs in the first half of 2006, up from only 19 in the previous year.  The security software company also identified 6 cases of malicious code on the Mac platform in the first half of this year up from 2 in the previous 6 months. 

Mac:  I don’t feel so good, does it feel hot in here?

Note: no Macs were harmed in the making of this post.
