5/1/2023 0 Comments Security by obscurity![]() ![]() Apple's done a great job coercing the last decade of Mac buyers that malware just doesn't exist on Macs. Salespeople at Best Buy and other retailers that I've encountered suffer from the same misleading tunnel vision. So this begs the question: how has Apple gotten a free pass on the falsehood that its OS X (and now iOS) users just don't need anti-malware software? As an IT professional who has personally cleaned off numerous Macs each year for the past 2-3 years, it really irks me that Apple still hasn't admitted that this falsehood is endangering an entire slice of our computing society.Įven though we don't push this mantra at our company, knowing full well it's a borked belief, you won't find the same honesty from any Apple Store employees. Their risk of forced entry or other crimes are leagues lower than in congested urban areas (like my neck of the woods, Chicago) but they still follow plain commonsense. Yet they most likely still use locks on all of their doors, and keep them locked shut at night. Likewise, sizable portions of American society lives out in rural areas where crime and theft are almost unheard of. Even so, she wouldn't think of ditching her safety belt, no matter how safe the cars claim to be. Not only do the company's vehicles arguably receive some of the highest safety ratings in the States, but their policy of across-the-board all wheel drive is another nicety I love about them. My girlfriend was on the prowl for a new vehicle not too long ago, and decided on a Subaru.
