Should I be worried about hackers?

Apple has concentrated on producing the easiest-to-use systems on the market, primarily by removing unnecessary complexity. Since more complexity usually means more security risks, Apple computers are significantly safer from hacker attackers than other systems.

For example, an Army division recently moved all their web servers from WinNT platforms to the Macintosh platform for exactly this reason.

In general, hackers prefer to target UNIX systems and Windows systems. They almost never target Macintosh users.

Are there similar products for the Macintosh?

AppleShare IP contains a feature called "TCP Filtering".
