Fewer Mac owners, fewer targets for criminals, right? Hackers are obviously more likely to create malware that'll affect more people's computers rather than spend extra time working around a tricky OS that fewer people have installed.īut just like TikTok warns that the chances of your cat killing you are few but never zero, the chances of hackers deliberately going after Mac users are few, but never zero. Apple's been chomping away at the market share, but still, fewer people own Macs. It's been a handful of years since Apple revealed that PC has it beat popularity-wise (by about four times, or 300 million active users). Antivirus software is still a worthwhile purchase. Apple's closed-loop system simply makes holes smaller and harder to infiltrate.īut that doesn't mean Mac's security is hole-free. Windows does tend to have more security vulnerabilities because, while Apple does everything in-house, Windows operates on hardware from a handful of manufacturers.
The idea that Macs are generally more secure than PCs isn't totally off-base. You've probably heard that Macs don't need antivirus software. McAfee Total Protection (3 devices) - $24.99 (save $55)
