ESG security guru Jon Oltsik caused a firestorm with his blog post suggesting this on May 6, 2009:

“As an analyst, it is my job to follow the industry, internalize trends, and then use this information to make predictions. OK, here goes: Within the next 18 months, Apple will begin recommending that Macintosh users install Internet security software on all systems.

Now I realize that this statement is blasphemy to dedicated Mac users, so let me start with a few qualifying statements. I am not comparing Mac OS with Windows, or Apple with Microsoft, and my prediction should not be interpreted as an attack on Apple, its developers, or the security of its code.”

It appears that he was right according to this article today… atta boy.

No one is immune to stupidity and evil. Not even Apple!
