I used to get those letters a lot, wanting me to verify my paypal or my ebay account but ever since I switched over to Mac computers,I never got another one.
My Ebay acct was hacked several times and my paypal acct twice and they got into my bank acct but luckily, paypal caught it that night and I went to the bank and put a stop payment on all the amounts.I never lost any money but would have, had paypal not caught it..Anyway,I haven't have a problem with a computer since 2008 when I switched over to Apple computers.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.

If it is an e-mail, it makes no difference if you are using OS/X, MS OS, Linux or CP/M. An e-mail is an e-mail and OS agnostic. Maybe more to do with your e-mail provider or spam filter blocking them. I have an e-mail client that through the filtering not only will block but also delete them from the server so most spam never shows up on my business related account.

I don't think so and I will tell you why..My daughter had her email acct hacked and someone listed 250 concert tickets on her acct and then my sister had her identity stolen and they took out 220k dollars worth of credit cards in her name..That was hell and it two years to straighten that mess out..Anyway,they switched to apple a year before I did and never had anymore problems.
The PC is an open system because everyone and their Granny is licensed to make software for them.It was in my paypal acct and they were able to fish my info thru my PC and I never had to put an anti-virus program on any of my macs or spy ware and I never had an issue.

The Macs are more secure but the security is not total. I ordered some airline tickets on my wife's Mac and the card number got swiped. A duplicate charge appeared simultaneously. Fortunately, the credit card company caught it and didn't charge me. So Macs can be and are hacked. It is just less common.

That wasn't a hack,that was a mistake on the swipe.

It was similar but not identical. If it had been a corporate card, it might have gone unnoticed. My credit card company was concerned enough that they flagged it, disabled the card, and sent me a new one. I talked to their security and they said that this was a common technique for a theft to go unnoticed. It was a hack.
