While the backdoor does seem to be real, not sure how often it really
appears in the wild. Wasn't able to turn up any good analysis of the
impact. Here is the source technical article about the back door
software everyone is quoting from:
http://www.fireeye.com/blog/technical/malware-research/2014/09/forced-to-adapt-xslcmd-backdoor-now-on-os-x.html
Of course it's really hard to get objective info on this since all the
experts who know about such things are publishing articles for companies
that sell security software/services. So read on with a grain of salt,
as they say here in the states.
