Zero-Day Java Flaw for Apple

Last week Apple released two updates to Java for Mac OS X to fix multiple security issues that have been exploited by the Flashback trojan. Good write up on Krebs On Security.

If you think that the reason Apple's OS hasn't been a target for malware writers is because it's "better" and "more secure" , think again.Malware writers target whichever platform is the biggest, witness the rise in mobile-targeted malware that's happened alongside the hiuge rise in smartphones as proof of that.
