The history of viruses and computer security is interesting and dynamic, starting with geeky pranksters and evolving into a multi-billion dollar business. Fortunately (whether by design or destiny), Macintosh viruses have been noticeably missing. And while the threats for Mac are few and far between, they’re not completely nonexistent. Some of the earliest known viruses started on Mac computers and new malware still pop up every now and then, even for Mac OS X.
