Hacker attacks on Apple Computer Inc.’s Macintosh OS X operating system, thought by many who use the Mac to be virtually immune to attack, are on the rise, according to a report from anti-virus software vendor Symantec Corp.

Symantec said that over the last year, it had documented 37 high vulnerabilities, or weaknesses that leave the system open to malicious software attacks, in Mac OS X.

An Apple spokesman was not available to comment.
