Many think that the Macintosh operating system is impervious to viruses or these kind of security threats. It is not that they are impervious; they are targeted less.

Any operating system is impervious to viruses. It's just harder to do (to a Mac), it doesn't mean it can't be done.

Many people thought the Mac was invulnerable. That's never been true, but the low number of viruses and attack attempts has made it feel true.

Mac OS X is not invulnerable. It, like any other operating system, has security deficiencies in various aspects of the software. Some are technical in nature, and others lend themselves to social engineering trickery. However, the general architecture and design philosophy of Mac OS X, in addition to usage of open source components for most network-accessible services that receive intense peer scrutiny from the community, make Mac OS X a very secure operating system.

What's new is that someone built a whole operating system, not tools or subsystems.

In television you go in with this operating system that it is a crapshoot.
