The only thing I can say about MACs is that they are not subject to the deluge of Internet attacks PC users constantly get.

For example, a PC without a firewall will be attacked within 10 – 15 minutes of logging on to the Internet, those attacks will contain viruses, spyware, pornware (for distribution to other PCs), various bots (to convert the PC into a zombie), ransomware (to blackmail the PC owner) and anything else criminal hackers can think of.

Because MAC users form a small proportion of Internet usage/traffic so most tech savvy criminals do not see the point in crafting malware specially for MACs. But that is not to say that they will not do so in the future.
