OK

USING A MAC MAKESyou safer than average
when going online. That’s partly because of
Apple’s eļorts to secure the operating system;
partly because the Mac App Store gives you
somewhere to get most of your third–party
software safely. It’s also partly because bad
actors — in the security industry sense, not the

Hollywood sense — tend to be less interested in

targeting macOS.

But that doesn’t mean either you or your Mac

can’t get fooled. You should know your way

around the common risks and understand basic

protections to keep yourself and your Mac out of

harm’s way online.

Bad things can happen on the internet, but you can’t

avoid going online, so here’s our simple survival guide
