Mac users: Macs don't get viruses because reasons
Me: points to this article
As a Mac user (among other things) I don’t get this type of virus because adblock. Also, fuck the CDN-style throw whatever at users and see what pays.
I’ve worked for companies that used at least some Macs since 2013. Those Macs have always had antivirus software on them in addition to the base protection from the OS. I think the days of “Macs don’t get viruses” are long gone for anyone who pays attention, and was really probably never true.
Yes keep restating a PR ad from 2006, nearly TWENTY goddamn years ago. Are you aware Mac OS has changed significantly just like literally every other main OS?
