Minority groups in China appear to have been targeted by a Mac malware attack, delivered via boobytrapped Word documents.
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.
If you're a home user, there really is no excuse at all as we offer a free anti-virus for Mac consumers.

We’ve seen malware for PCs that infects mobile devices, but it turns out there’s also malware for mobile devices designed to infect PCs. Kaspersky researchers have discovered a new piece of Android malware that masquerades as a “cleaner” app meant to free memory for Google’s operating system but wreaks havoc on your smartphone in the background and on Microsoft’s operating system when it’s connected to a PC. The security firm says the malware has the most “extensive feature set” it has ever seen in one mobile app. Here’s the list: Sending SMS messages.Enabling Wi-Fi.Gathering information about the device.Opening arbitrary links in a browser.Uploading the SD card’s entire contents.Uploading an arbitrary file (or folder) to the master’s server.Uploading all SMS messages.Deleting all SMS messages.Uploading all the contacts/photos/coordinates from the device to the master.
