LOL. The article tries hard to create fud but fails miserably. The  
security industry desperately wants to sell 'solutions' for the Mac,  
especially as it gains market share,  and scare stories full of  
'possibly', 'might' and 'could' shilled by the publications that take  
their advertising is one of the marketing methods.

There would be the same artificial hysteria about Linux security if  
had any market share as a desktop OS.

Advertising Maru
