Trend Micro announced the availability of Smart Surfing for Mac OS 10.7 or Lion. With Trend Micro Smart Surfing rated as the #1 best-selling product for Mac at retail in the U.S. and with Apple’s estimated global sales of more than 14 million machines, with the new version is expected to gain tremendously in market share.
As Mac popularity and sales have grown, so has interest among cybercriminals in targeting those users. Recent outbreaks include Trojans and Fake AV like Mac Defender and MacGuard.
“Even before this barrage, Mac users have been susceptible to a myriad of web threats like phishing, pharming and social engineering. Unlike viruses and Trojans, these web threats don’t target operating systems, they target the end user. Our goal continues to be to prevent consumers from losing personal data and sensitive information on any and all operating systems.” said Natalie Severino, Director, Consumer Retail Marketing, Product/Service Marketing, Trend Micro.
