“…there are security risks and flaws in both Mac OS and Unix/Linux, the just are not exploited as often. Every system has the potential for vulnerabilities.”

That’s like saying that if someone is shooting at you, Kevlar body armor, like an old T shirt, has its weaknesses, too. Of course nothing is perfect.
