It's interesting that so many still think MacOS is immune to malware.

It is strange why they still think that, probably Apple's propaganda (marketing) department.

It just makes them more vulnerable to widespread infections like this one, maybe this will wake them up?
Although no doubt Apple will say it's a one-off anomaly.
