Mac OS X is known for their longest history of being the most user-friendly for the least – if not zero – amount of viruses which was even one of their own selling points back in the days of Mac vs. PC advertisement series.
As time and tide has passed, Apple’s user community has recently gone to the dark side and got a widespread virus last year which made all Macs vulnerable through a loophole in the Java software and downloads the malware without the user’s consent. After that attack was laid to rest, another attack is now on the verge of revive as the malware that infected Facebook actually bypasses OS X’s Gatekeeper protection.
Gatekeeper, the software made for Mac users to control which source to have the permission to install apps – something like a repository, can be bypassed and the most tragic part is that the reason how is unknown.
