I read CNet, PC World, Ziff Davis and other publications online. I've read articles about both Apple and Linux viruses in the wild -- also Apple ransomware.

While it's true that Apple and Linux users are a smaller target. However, they have files and identities worth stealing and cracking has become a profit-motivated industry.

Apple people are perceived to be more affluent by some, so that makes them worth the extra effort for some to hack.

Just because you aren't using Microsoft, please don't let your guard down.
