Many people use the term ‘virus’ as a catchall for any form of malware. However, with Mac’s market share on the rise, cybercriminals are increasingly focusing their efforts on Apple. Traditionally, Macs have been less vulnerable than Windows computers – this is mainly because cybercriminals have focused most of their efforts on creating malware for Windows machines, as they make up the bulk of the market and therefore offer more opportunity.
MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac Minis can all be infected by viruses and malware, and hackers can successfully attack them too. It is sometimes said that Apple products are immune to viruses and malware, but sadly that isn’t true.
