The article is good, but as John Gruber points out on Daring Fireball, we have been hearing this same noise about malware coming for nearly a decade. Mac's are not impervious, but these articles feel like someone checking off the yearly to-do list.
Don't panic yet. A cost effective attack vector hasn't yet been worked out. The ones used for PCs aren't effective enough due the 10:1 PC to Mac ratio. (difficult to spread from like to like).

Ed Bott is a total Microsoft evangelist and not very kind towards Apple, so I always take these FUD articles with a grain of salt. Total link bait.
