And, this has what to do with the original post?

Newsflash: There is no such thing as an unhackable machine.

Mac users unwittingly rely on "security by obscurity;" i.e., the installed base of Macs is too small to be of interest to most hackers. As Willy Sutton replied, when asked as to why he robbed banks, "Because that's were the money is." There's little money to be had from hacking Macs.
