In theory there are just as many security leaks in Mac OS as there are in windows. Why aren't they exploited, you ask? It is all about bang for your buck - there are *more* windows machines, therefore an exploit causes more damage/havoc.

The fact of having Anti-virus scanners for Mac points to the ability to have compromised systems and means (IMO) that of course you can be hacked.
