Mac OS X Malware Soars in 2015 | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
“For years, Mac users have watched their PC-using counterparts struggle with cyber-attacks, while enjoying the relative immunity that their hardware provides from malware. This view is becoming increasingly outdated; our research shows that Mac users should be just as worried,” argued Bit9 + Carbon Black Emea MD, David Flower.

“With 45 per cent of businesses now offering Macs as an option to staff, our research should be seen as a timely reminder that every device on the network is a potential target—businesses can’t just rely on a clearly outdated perception of invulnerability.”


Mac malware is set to accelerate over the coming months after having its most prolific year ever so far in 2015, according to new research from endpoint security firm Bit9 + Carbon Black.


After an analysis of the year so far, the vendor concluded that five times more Mac malware appeared in 2015 than the previous five years combined.
