I understand believing that like 20ish years ago when no one gave a shit about Mac in the slightest.

But in 2020? Lol

I assume that every machine is infected by something anyway.

It can, but it's not particularly targeted - mostly because the bulk of Mac users are hipsters who are completely broke after buying a Mac and an iPhone.

Anyone who's careful what they do with their computer can say the same thing on PC though. And any idiot can get a virus on their first day.

Most businesses and agencies run on Windows right? It makes more sense to hit large targets than go after random individuals.

Still, it's weird how the advertising tagline "Macs don't get viruses" has stuck around all this time. I've heard it from so many different people and I don't even bother trying to correct them anymore.

I think recently they've been showing that macs are more susceptible than PCs of late due to growing malware presence and this stupid belief.

I used to work for Apple on their tech support for line for Macs, every single customer I had call in with some virus or malware or some shit all believed it was impossible because it was a Mac. The funny thing is apple tech support just tells people to download Malwarebytes and sends those dumb fuckers on their way.
