- Macs Play Host to Malware for Other Platforms
In
a recent article,
McAfee APAC Marketing Director, Alan Bell, stated that Macs
are a security issue due to their abileity to be "carriers",
in environments which share data across platorms. We reported
this almost a year ago in episode

on a Mac? Yes... Do Macs need to be considered during the
risk management and policy development process...Yes!
