Reading Macintosh

...defacement points will be awarded based on the type of operating system running the Web site. Defacement of Web sites running Windows will only win a single point, while sites running Linux (news - web sites), Unix (news - web sites), and BSD are each worth three points. Sites running AIX, IBM's version of Unix, are worth three points, while sites running HP-UX, Hewlett-Packard's version of Unix, and Macintosh (news - web sites), Apple's operating system, are worth up to five points, according to the contest Web site.

--From an article about the upcoming site defacement contest--look how many more points OS X gets than Windows, Linux, and several Unices.

Ewige Blumenkraft!

Mac is probably worth more points than linux just because they'd be so much more rare.

I suppose this is because vulnerabilities of unpatched Windows and *nix are so widely known. Tools exist that allow you to root such machines without any L337 h4X0R skills at all.

In contrast to Mac servers which are, as mace already pointed out, pretty rare. There are probably few programmers bothering to write flashy tools for breaking into Mac servers.
