Well it's about time someone tried to get me to infect my Mac with a social engineering project.
Nice try. I was hoping it would have been better coded than it is. Maybe a better cracker will come along.

You guys should really read the article and the background (not Sophos, their account is not accuract) to this. It's not a Virus, more malware. Requires user action. Requires admin password to be typed, requires a file to manually be opened and to manually be run.
Check this for more info: »www.macrumors.com/c.php?u=http%3···40126001
Please let me know when someone get a virus or malware that comes even close to the crap that infects windows...

| Wait and see.
Now this seems like it happened before, if I remember correctly it was another Ant-virus company out there that was trying to get itself in the market of Mac users. I myself would have to see it to believe it. Correct me if I'm wrong but it will still need me to enter my administrative password in order to install. Guess we will have to see if it strikes any ATM members or simply another ploy to sell useless software to Mac users.

God dam time....Sick of some of my friends that use MAC always talking about how a MAC is superior to the PC because it's "Security is impenetrable". Now they are the same as us and must now officially shut the fuck up.
No offence to Non-cocky MAC users. |

No need to bash MS, they do that handily all by themselves. |

I think anyone with 1/2 a brain knows that there is not a single piece of software out there that is 100% secure.
And, it's inevitable that eventually there will be "real" viruses with the Mac.
But, as I said before, this really is a not terribly significant. It's not a virus. It "might" be considered malware... but that's even a stretch. |

And in the meantime, all the PC apologists will avoid saying anything constructive or intelligent, but that would be highly unusual to begin with...
Oh, why not let's get everyone loaded onto this flamebait wagon? Anyone want to chime in with a swipe at Linux, too?
