Symantec Steps In It?
I caught this article over on Motley Fool regarding some statements Symantec made about the MAC OS. Apparently Symantec made some comments about the MAC OS not being quite as secure as we were led to believe.
What I find humorous in the article, is it mentions one of my favorite shows, the Andy Griffith show. The comparison? How in the world did that show end up in this analysis?
“But it's also true that the Mac's mythically bulletproof security benefits from the same kind of relative obscurity that made Mayberry so safe. Yes, Andy was a fine cop, but on the other hand, with so little potential for payoff, there isn't a lot of incentive for criminal elements -- like hackers -- to try to drop by. Especially when Microsoft's Windows continues to make for such easy pickins.”
Without going in to a whole lot of details with this one, I’m sure many of us can draw correlations to other products on the market today.
