No surprise that ransomware makers are now shifting their focus to Mac OS devices.

From my observations, most people who buy Macs tend to have good finances, and are probably more likely to pay a ransom (and at a higher price) than most of the people who use Windows or Chromebook users.

Which is why e-commerce sites, especially travel sites, have been caught charging people using Macs more than people using Windows boxes.
