I feel like posting this would be doing nothing but beating a dead horse. The war between platform security and the advantages / disadvantages that each has over the other will cotinue so long as there are publicly available operating systems at our disposal.

“The continuing rise of malware will concern many – the criminals responsible are obviously making money from their code, otherwise they’d give up the game,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. “It’s more vital than ever that all organizations use an integrated security solution to protect against intrusion, as well as blocking known and unknown malware. On top of this, hackers seem happy to primarily target Windows users and not spread their wings to other platforms. It seems likely that Macs will continue to be the safer place for computer users for some time to come – something that home users may wish to consider if they’re deliberating about the next computer they should purchase.”

Apparently, a recent Sophos security report claims that Macs are a wiser choice for home personal computer users.

If you’re beginning to doubt your own computing security, feel free to inquire about recommendations in the comments. The answer to secure computing does not always lie in a simple switch to new hardware or an operating system altogether. A computer is only as secure as the amount of knowledge an individual has about privacy & security.
