It depends what you mean by hacked. If someone has physical access to a Mac and can observe someone entering their password then they will have access to the Mac. If they then have an opportunity to install a key logger they can glean a lot of information from keystrokes entered. It is true to say that a Mac is more robust than many other computer systems. The Mac OS is a UNIX system. UNIX has been around since 1969 and is very secure - there is a reason most web servers, for example, run on UNIX systems. It is a lot more secure than the Windows operating system which is cobbled together from divergent parts and was never designed for the networked computing environment that we use today - hence the myriad malware and virus attacks that afflict the Windows system.

Yes Apple computers can be hacked if you are careless,like a free lanced journalist used his account for Gizmodo,but it also showed up on Amazon the last three digits of his card,and other important information. Apple since has tightened it`security.
