Salut,
L'épowue des Macs se passant d'antivirus et de protection semble bien
révolue... :
Vous voulez gagner du fric ?

GENEVA In a sign that cyber-criminals are investing more time and
resources into attacks against Apple's Mac users, a new malware
affiliate program has been discovered offering 43c for every infected
Mac machine.
During an eye-opening presentation at the VB Conference 2009
conference here, Sophos Labs researcher Dmitry Samosseikko provided a
glimpse into the "Partnerka," a Russian network of spam and malware
affiliates that have turned their attention to the Mac platform
using social engineering tricks to load fake codecs and scareware programs.
Samosseiko discussed the "codec-partnerka," which is dedicated solely
to the sale and promotion of fake Mac software.
He pointed to a site called Mac-codec.com (now offline) which was
offering $0.43 for each malicious install, a price tag that suggests
the Mac platform is becoming more and more lucrative to online crime gangs.
