That attacks on Mac OS X are rising is no surprise.

If/when we start seeing successful attacks "in the wild," Symantec may not have to resort to FUD to drive sales. The article doesn't mention anything about Mac OS X box being maliciously compromised.

News about existing malware affected Mac OS X (I guess that basically means Macro viruses) would have been more useful. But I guess the threats posed by them is not so newsworthy.

I especially like the line, "the Macintosh operating system has not always been a safe haven," which is true (if not relevant) since there were viruses for pre-OS X Mac OS's.
