After being caught up in a series of scandals involving Flashback malware on its operating system, Apple had to change its marketing message for OS X. Specifically, the company changed OS X's statement. " virus-free " to "safe " and "protect your data without doing anything " into " Safe. Integrated". Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant, said this showed that Apple began to pay more attention to security.
According to PC World , in addition to changing marketing messages, Apple has also released a security guide for the iOS operating system and introduced the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion for Mac computers. OS X 10.8 is equipped with the Gatekeeper feature, which limits the applications that can be installed on the device.
In a recent interview with Computerworld Australia, Eugene Kasspersky, co-founder of Kaspersky, said Apple should extend the timeframe for support for older operating systems. He said millions of people were using older versions of the operating system that "Apple" stopped supporting. This makes computers running this operating system vulnerable to infection and malware. Typically, OS X 10.5 has been discontinued support in May this year and replaced by OS X 10.7.
