Not sure if you knew, but just recently the first worm for OSX was released.
1. It's not a worm, it's a trojan.
2. Trojans are not self-replicating like worms.
3. It wasn't a real trojan even.. Just a 'proof of concept' ("see? theoretically it can be done.").
4. It wasn't "released." Nothing damaging to OSX was 'released.'
5. Classic case of FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt).
Yeah, thanks. That'll "learn" me to spout information that I didn't really read up on.
Though, I've always wondered what FUD meant. |
