[Hidden-tech] MAC Security

[Kelly Albrecht]

No operating system is invincible, but I think it is safe to say that the Mac is currently very safe and will be at least into the near future. We see plenty of Macs and PCs come through our doors for repair. PCs typically have a hardware or Virus/Malware issue, but we have yet to see an infected Mac (and we will let everyone know when we do!). It will happen eventually, especially if Mac becomes a dominant OS.

The best approach to security is to keep your system and all of its software updated. Also, be very careful with where you go and where you click when online.
