An extract of a nice read at ZDNet:

I can tell you for a fact, many, many people are falling for this attack. Our call volume here at AppleCare is 4-5x higher than normal and [the overwhelming majority] of our calls are about this Mac Defender and its aliases. Many frustrated Mac users think their Mac is impervious to viruses and think this is a real warning from Apple. I really wish I could say not many people will fall for this, but in this last week, we have had nothing but Mac Defender and similar calls.

AppleCare support advises Mac users to use antivirus now!

Make no mistake about it: If you were to parse through my email and try and figure out what the single most frequently asked question is these days, it’s pretty obvious. “What can you tell me about Windows 8?” And to date, there hasn’t been much to say.

But ask about the features and technologies that Microsoft planned to include in Windows 8? For the most part, I didn’t have a clue.
