From TFA: "As with other attacks against Apple, the Zlob gang relies on tricking users to install its malicious software, rather than on exploiting any inherent software vulnerability." So, this is nothing new. Not a virus. Not an exploit of the Operating System. A simple executable file trojan. Anyone dumb enough to click on an executable program (and on the Mac, have to explicitly give it admin rights) gets what they deserve. Social engineering is a problem on all platforms. People are gullible. This is not anything new. This is a press release from an AntiVirus company disguised as news. You ought to really try working smarter with less FUD. On the bright side, Apple market share is reaching an all-time high, over eight percent! http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/17/apples_u_s_mac_market_share_rises_to_8_1_percent_in_q3.html -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
