This "spear" was also for a MacOS vulnerability. No doubt most Mac people think they're immune to viruses and malware, making this even more effective.

It is very well thought out attack.

A lot of recent high profile targeted hacks have been against macos (poker stars, Saudi activist, Chinese activists, ...).

Let's just agree that all platforms are vulnerable and anyone telling you otherwise should not be trusted.

All platforms are vulnerable; it does not follow that running commercial anti-malware products is good idea, or even likely to make you less vulnerable, on every platform, which is the usual context for "Macs and viruses" arguments.
