It is true that there is much less malware for OS X than there is for Windows, but that's not going to make you feel any better if you end up targeted in an attack like this.
Mac users, just like Windows users, need to ensure that they install the latest security patches and keep their software properly up-to-date. If you're not already doing so, run anti-virus software on your Macs.

On some days the number of web antivirus detections for fake apple.com phishing sites exceeded the daily average by several times. There were a number of peaks, the most significant of which occurred on December 6, 2012 (939,549 detections) and May 1, 2013 (856,025 detections).
This periodic surge in cybercriminal activity and the resulting increase in web antivirus detections can be put down to important events in the life of Apple. For example, December's peak occurred immediately after the iTunes Store opened in Russia, Turkey, India, South Africa and 52 other countries around the world.
How do users end up on fake sites? One of the most popular methods is to use spam to spread links to phishing sites. For example, cybercriminals send out emails on behalf of Apple in which they ask the recipient to confirm their account by following a link in the message.
The link leads to a fake website where users are asked to enter their Apple ID and password - this data is then stolen by the cybercriminals and used for their own ends.
