Macs not immune from their users

Mac users typically go around bragging about how wonderful their computers are. That and how they are practically immune from malware.

Well that last part isn't likely to remain true for much longer. Macs are slowly becoming an attractive target for malware and although the security of the operating system may prevent certain types of infections, nothing can stop the purposeful infecting of ones computer by the user through the downloading of pirated (and unfortunately, infected) software. Which is how the current Mac trojan horse is getting around.
