According to Alex Stamos of iSec Partners, OS X has a greater number of vulnerabilities compared to Windows 7, and when it comes to network security, 'OS X networks are significantly more vulnerable to network privilege escalation,' and that 'almost every OSX server service offers weak or broken authentication mechanisms.'
Stamos also goes on to dispel the myth that Mac OS X isn't attracting attention from hackers. To support this he points out that over the past three years 1,151 major vulnerabilities have affected Apple products, only slightly less than the 1,325 affecting Windows.
