Security Problems - Hackers and Mac computers

Mainly, I have been using Windows for a long time. I have never had any serious security problems so far, yet some of my friends have experienced some serious problems.

As a security purpose, I usually use a Mac computer when I deal with my personal information, since I think that hackers are less interested in Macintosh than Microsoft.

However,,,
The news says that...” A hacker managed to break into a Mac and win a US$10,000 prize as part of a contest started at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver.”

Hacker Cracks a Mac at Security Conference

It seems that targeting Macintosh may be getting popular... I personally feel that the prize US$10,000 is too small amount, compared to what may happen later on.

Now, I am not so sure whether Macintosh is more secure than Microsoft or not.
