Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos: “They’re both mature operating systems from the security point of view, and as good as each other. But, crucially, it’s not about the operating system that is being run on the computer, it’s the fleshy human sitting in front of it…I would argue that an Apple Mac user wanting to watch the ‘Erin Andrews Peephole Video’ is just as likely to download a bogus browser plug-in to help them do that, as a Windows user. And it doesn’t matter that Mac OS X will ask them to enter their username and password to install the plug-in—they want to watch the video, they will enter their username and password. Social engineering is the unifying threat that puts all computer users at risk, regardless of operating system. And that’s what most threats exploit. ”
