The Issue Is OS Agnostic
The majority of viruses are spread through clicking on bad links or reading bad email. Mac users (and Linux, which I am a proud member of) have lived under a false blanket of security because they haven't seen much evidence of their flavor of OS getting hacked or infected. For years they have been clicking away on links without a care in the world because they couldn't get infected. but now, Apple is in the crosshairs. Their popularity is increasing, so more WILL come. Also, with the proliferation of smartphones, there are even more ways for carefree users to become victims.
No matter what OS you are using, it all boils down to the users. If they are trained not to click on links or emails then this will go away for the most part. But, until then, no one is safe.
