Has the threat of computer attacks with Mac has gone up because the newer Macs are intel-based? Thanks for the response.

I’ll take a stab at that one.

Intel would make it easier for developing software for Mac/PC, but the OS and GUI have much more say in strength of defense.

So making it would be a bit easier, but making it is not your primary obstacle.

There are still no viruses in the wild for Macs.

Re: threat up because of intel switch.

Nope. OSX is still built on UNIX whether it’s on PowerPC or Intel.
