Of course they are behind. Windows was under attack for so long, they know ins and outs. Apple just now starting to get heat close to their ass. It's only gonna get worse.

Ya, like hackers never found a way around anti viruses, protection, etc... It's just a matter of time. Nothing is 100% secure.
 
openBSD has one exploit in its history. I think if you are using gatekeeper you are 99% safe.

unix is just inherently more secure for a lot of reasons.
