The days of the MAC being invincible, virtually impenetrable by viruses and malwares, is now only a thing of the past no thanks to sinister developers. As the popularity of the MAC grew, so did its susceptibility to attacks. Since more and more developers get acquainted with its operating system, a lot more people get attracted into toying with the computer's security issues.
Reports confirm that a malware attack embedded in a BitTorrent was found to have infected around 20,000 MACs, as of press time. Once said malware is installed in the MAC, the malware's creator can take complete control over the infected computer.
To prevent this from occuring, MAC users are advised to download and install software only from legitimate sources. They are also encouraged to install anti-virus and security software.
