SAN FRANCISCO - Advanced persistent threat groups are hitting Apple devices with malware that has been reverse engineered and redeployed for malicious acts.

Despite these threats, Wardle said that when it comes to security, Apple's moving in a "Positive" direction, adding more malware mitigation or security features into their operating system.

Patrick Wardle: Yeah, so we actually see Apple really moving in a positive direction from a security point of view where they continually add malware mitigation or security features based or built into the operating system.

Well, and we did hear a stat yesterday actually at the keynote talking about how Apple devices are actually now they outnumber Microsoft space devices now.

So if Apple devices are becoming more prolific, it means hackers, attackers are going to focus more of their time and resources obviously on targeting devices.
