They exist, but OSX is so locked down to normies that the odds of them getting anything malignant are astronomically low.
>>
is redpill a reddit thing or a /pol/ thing?

i mean, honestly i don't care, because either way you're the human equivalent of a peeling scab, but I want to be clear about this.

/pol/

Practically anything sperg related comes from there.

>>51887002
Don't download anything that you don't know what it is, don't click on sketchy links, etc.

Avoid Mackeeper. I only feel the need to mention it because I see ads for it on otherwise reputable sites, but it's totally malware.

They're real, install Gentoo.

As far as OS exploits go, every system has them. Due to OS X's Unix base, which includes a separation from user space and the root space, this stops a lot of malware from infecting the entire system. Any adware or trojans that exist for OS X can easily be rm -rf'd, so malware is not really an issue.

That all being said, you are still vulnerable to exploits that are crossplatform and can infect the entire system. This includes adobe flash, java, firefox, chrome, etc.

So the moral of the story is to always keep up to date with your updates, and use an adblocker.
