Mac Phishing a Problem, Too

From Mary Landesman, About.com GuideNovember 18, 2009

Follow me on:

According to survey results from Competitive Edge Research, Mac users are as prone to phishing attacks as are PC users. Unfortunately, the report concluded that "most cybercrime losses are caused by phishing attacks" - a finding that might be erroneous at best. Perhaps a more accurate conclusion would be that most quantifiable reports of losses are the result of phishing. In any event, it does serve as a good reminder that  scams are a universal problem - they target the person directly and not the operating system.
