For the first time in 2019 Apple's Mac PC has more malware threads than Windows PC, as per a report by antivirus solution provider Malware bytes.
The majority of malware threads were adware, the antivirus maker's report says the company was able to track over 400% increase in detected malware on Mac, There were 11 threads per Mac endpoint last year 2018.
The average of 5.8 threads detected per endpoint in 2019, and Mac has an average of over 4.8 threads in 2018.
“Meanwhile, straight-forward malicious behavior from Mac files is increasing year-over-year, with more deceptive techniques to evade Apple’s rather stringent eye. And breakthroughs on the IOS side may have the tech behemoth reconsidering whether they should allow antivirus products on their beloved mobile devices. If 2019’s threat landscape tells us anything it’s that it’s time to take a good hard look at Mac security and finally get serious”, says the report.
