A popular myth says that "Mac's don't get viruses," but that's never quite been true - and today's Mac users face more cyberthreats than ever before.
You've probably heard that Mac computers are somehow more resistant to viruses than their Windows counterparts.
The reality is a bit tougher - Macs are indeed susceptible to viruses, ransomware and other cyberthreats.
New threats emerge every day, which is why some modern data backup and security solutions - like Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office - now provide native support for macOS. Mac ransomware is a growing threat.
Phishing emails can impact anyone, anytime, causing you to download a malicious attachment or inadvertently reveal sensitive information - no matter whether you're on a Windows computer, a Mac or even your smartphone.
