Yep. Seems to be a sensationalized piece that basically boils down to "Mac market share in enterprise is now more than a rounding error, so hackers might start targeting it"

It may not even be that much of a real increase. The "1000%" increase chart in the article doesn't have any y-axis label, which is suspicious. Plus percent increases from a small absolute starting point are misleading.

Skimming article, it looks like increase is in dark web posts about MacOS zero days and CVEs rather than actual successful attacks.
