Apple's Bud Tribble on Mac OS X security

Macworld:

There has been a lot of talk in the press recently about how secure Mac
OS X really is and how much Mac users have to be concerned about security. While Apple said they are very serious about security concerns, Mac users, for the most part, have been unaffected.

“Proof of concepts are out there but end users have not been affected by exploits in the wild the way they typically are with some other platforms,” Bud Tribble, Apple’s vice president of Software Technology, told Macworld. “It’s never good to say don’t be concerned about security, however, the actual affects on users of our platform are minimal.”

He doesn't actually say much, but it's always interesting when someone you can actually trust at Apple comes out on record.
