Mac users, you are being targeted now
No matter whether a platform is "secure", if you download malicious software it can make your machine do things you don't want.
There is a Trojan Horse program in the wild for Mac OS X. It pretends to be a Quicktime codec that you're supposed to install to be able to watch porn videos. Lures like that have been common in the Windows world for years.
Several security experts expect that this is just the first and that Macs will become regular targets.
Mac users, be as street smart as Windows users. If a porn site asks you to download software, don't trust them.
