Technology News Article | Reuters.com: "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Hacker attacks on Apple Computer Inc.'s (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Macintosh OS X operating system, thought by many who use the Mac to be virtually immune to attack, are on the rise, according to a report from anti-virus software vendor Symantec Corp (SYMC.O: Quote, Profile, Research) .

'Contrary to popular belief, the Macintosh operating system has not always been a safe haven from malicious code,' said the report, which was issued on Monday.

'It is now clear that the Mac OS is increasingly becoming a target for the malicious activity that is more commonly associated with Microsoft and various Unix-based operating systems.'"
