An interesting question is whether this is merely a blip or part of a trend. Apple's user base must be an enormously tempting target for malware creators.

To answer this question, we'd need to know whether various things will change in the future:

Will criminals stop wanting to scam people?

Will non-technical users somehow get more savvy?

Will the Apple userbase get smaller and thus less lucrative?
