Apple Isn’t Virus-Proof After All

This post is from 2016. It may refer to software versions, prices or products that have changed since. Ask us if you want the current answer.

We’ve seen virus attacks on Apple products, but most of the time we hear ‘Apples don’t get virus attacks’ which we know isn’t true. Hackers have dabbled in attacks against this product line, but it’s a much smaller target, so we haven’t seen as many attacks…until now.

Recently, Apple acknowledged it had to shut down a ransomware attack. As the Apple user base grows, they will be a more attractive target. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality. If you have a Mac, we strongly recommend purchasing, installing, and maintaining anti-virus software. Talk to any of the techs if you have questions! — CMW
