That article has an interesting section:

> How can I keep my Mac safe from stealer malware?

The site is actually a promotional one for an antimalware Intego.  Not
only is it a 'counter-balance' to the idea of Macs not needing 3rd party
ware, but it also takes a smack at one of BDB's faves, namely VT, which
doesn't include Intego:

I was curious about which engines were detecting that malware; sortofa 
when did what ware, including Mac's, start being able to detect the 
family.  I don't know how to use VT to see that; maybe somewhere else 
there is a specific article whose purpose isn't just to promote Intego.
