Experts: Malicious program targets Macs - CNN.com

Experts: Malicious program targets Macs - CNN.com: "It seems that as sleek Mac computers become more popular, they're also more sought-after targets for the authors of harmful programs.

'The bad guys generally go toward the biggest target, what will get them the biggest bang for their buck,' said Kevin Haley, a director of security response at Symantec.
