Not true. A hacker who came up with a reliable way to add Apple machines to a botnet would have a boundless resource at their disposal, since most Mac users don't bother with antivirus software. Plus, bragging rights are a huge motivator. The first one with a Mac botnet be deified in hacker lore.
Yes, Apple doesn't have the overwhelming market share that Microsoft enjoys. That's not the only reason there aren't any active trojans or viruses for the Mac in the network. The same goes with Linux, particularly since Linux runs at least half the world's servers.
Perhaps, but the comics are fun. Ergo, I'm right!
