Pretty much. The scary part is how Apple used how few Mac viruses were out there as part of their marketing spin to lead a massive portion of their userbase into a false sense of security for years. Now that their sales have soared over the past 5-10 years, Mac malware has been considerably on the rise yet I still hear people every day parrot off how Macs "just don't get viruses" like they're magically immune.
 
These articles are so dumb, it's beyond believe how stupid they are. Let's see... Use an admin user account, check. Turn Gatekeeper off, check. Click on anything and everything, check.

You know what, you deserve a virus.
