Apple's Mac computers have been facing an increase in security threats in the last 12 to 18 months, according to Rik Ferguson, solutions architect for Trend Micro.
He went on to describe the steps Mac users could take to fight threats. "[Practise] safe computing, such as not clicking on links randomly without checking that the person who sent it to you actually meant to send you that link, especially if through a social networking site, but also in email as well."
The expert was commenting on the latest IBM X-Force security threat report for the first half of 2010, which was published earlier this month.
The study revealed a 36 per cent increase in threats across all platforms compared to the same time period last year.
In other IT industry news, Intel, the computer chip maker, is to buy Internet security firm McAfee for $7.68 billion [£4.9 billion] in a move to address the increasing threat of cyber attacks.
