Because it's a decent OS, unlike wangblows.

they just work

because third party software on mac doesnt exist

Because they already come pozzed

because writing viruses for mac makes you gay

because no real market share

seething

What? Unlike wangblows macOS has a good package manager and supports pretty much all CLI software of the past thirty years.

coping

incel

Rent free

have sex

google fruitfly virus

fagOS itself is a virus

macOS is more obscure

why write malware that targets 4% of the population when you can write it for wangblows and get 90% of the population?

Believe it or not, even Linux would get malware threats if it were more popular, although it's a much saner environment than windows and you're not installing random exes to get software so it would have to be a different vector.

That line of thinking is the opposite for servers because Linux servers are far more common.

They do get malware. That remains undetected for 13 years.

Managing to infect a linux server is far harder than infecting consumers. You honestly have to be a special kind of retard to get a server infected.

Increased security but reduced usefulness

Tell that to the millions of retards getting their servers fucked by sql injections lol

They do.

t. Does IT in a small office full of mac using normalfags.

Pissing into an ocean of piss.

Some ifs and fors are more equal than others, it would seem.

Because macfags already have all the viruses.

You can do this on every machine ever if you have physical access retard

If you're making something like ransomware, you're far more likely to be successful targeting windows.
If you target linux servers you'll just get flashed back to a saved image in cold storage and lose a few hours/a day of progress as the sysadmin.
If you target an Apple user they'll just throw away the computer and spend that $1500 ransom on a new macbook and restore files from cloud storage instead.

what?

What part of it did you not understand you mongoloid?

The checking if the password is correct is done locally, correct? If you have physical access to a computer you can practically run any code you want.

Good luck getting code of choice to run on a school chromebook

Was this directed at me?

Also you need to login on a Google domain education thingie on a school Chromebook, genius.

Because users get viruses

Also, yes it is possible but still very hard, but still not impossible.

because macOS is engineered by high-quality pajeets

Wrong, macOS is being engineered by a bank.

The question is why can't any Mac antivirus find anything?

>question

the image should be used for questions that are making you angry and involve lelt leaning people/topics. Your question is literally a boring ass old question that is wrong and if you have ever programmed/studied cs you would know that viruses are build for specific platforms/use cases depending on already existing software vulnerabilities.

That's why the Linux azure servers were hit with malware not that long ago

>it's hard to do on some niche hipster laptop designed to have almost alĺ it's services be cloud based and be highly locked down
ok faggot

It's impossible to do on any laptop other than macs, and even then forget a brief period of time. Stop pretending that all physical access vulnerabilities are equal. Being able to log into a laptop as root with no password with not a single modification or hack whatsoever is there most embarrassing security failure of the decade, bar none.

Owners already scummed out of money and not worth investment

how does that even happen in the modern day

dilate

>blocks your path to the kernel
yeah good luck

op my macbook pro got a crypto miner virus once, it was really easy to fix but still

HIV? hello?

brainless "programmers" using untyped scripting languages, mostly.

the best part is when these people argue about whether you "should sanitize all input" or "get rid of SQL altogether", like those retards haven't even heard of prepared statements

Nobody writes any for them. It's not profitable. If you have the proficiency to write a virus, you might as well go for Windows, since that has the most users.
Anti virus doesn't help against new malware variants as long as they're programmed properly, so the fact that most macs and linux computers are unsecure doesn't matter.

The virus is sitting in front of the keyboard.

You don't need to write viruses when Apple leaves their backdoor wide open.
