“I was using UNIX in 1978 and continued for over 40 years. People who ran the computer network in Electrical Engineering at Purdue were very interested in malware, worms as I recall, as they first appeared on the scene and popped up on occasion. I was at a electronics show in Huston, TX in the early 80s and went with the head of our computer network to Xerox and saw/used the first mouse, so I was impressed when I saw the Macs and had to have one. I too thought the Mac was virus proof, assuming the propriety nature of the of the software and difficulty sharing software kept it safe, but when OS X came and the internet blossomed I knew that the UNIX based OS was vulnerable. I loved being able to get to the command line and continue using it even today, though not nearly as often. I still imagine that the popularity of Windows and its vulnerabilities makes it a bigger target, but in reality with the complexity of todays software I see how important it is to use Malwarebytes to protect the Apple devices our family has.”
