COMMENT: Apple way behind Microsoft on security according to Kaspersky Lab's CEO. Is statement self-serving to sell more anti-virus software or accurate?
Recent Flashback Trojan shows OS X is now under attack. Apple may not be as vulnerable to attacks as Microsoft software due to built-in protections in OS X and the App Store but malware authors are creative and will exploit any opening. These attacks will become worse and more prevalent as Apple gains in market share.
Apple and other developers should be more proactive and start working on more anti-virus/ anti-malware solutions before this occurs so Kaspersky's prediction will not come true and OS X users will not be in the same position XP users were 10 years ago.
