'Opener' Malware Targets OS X
the_webmaestro writes "Macintouch.com is covering the "opener" malware, a new and potential vulnerability which affects Mac OS X. If true (it's not on HoaxBusters yet), this could become a Mac user's worst nightmare... Worse even than Microsoft Word macro viruses (heretofore the only real 'viruses' which threatened Mac users)! Normally, when ever I'd see virus alerts, I'd revel in the fact that as a Mac user, I was immune (except for the slow-down of the net, the loss in productivity of my colleagues, and the increase in SPAM--often coming from my friends and colleagues). [Sigh] Perhaps, my days of telling friends and family that there are no viruses for Macs may be coming to an end. There have been stories."
not only is it just a bash script, but one that could only be written by a mac user. they need to take a look at the ABS guide and learn a thing or two.
Another thing that kills me is that Linux users are becoming more and more like Mac users every day. They expect everything to be done for them from 1 little click of a button.
GO LEARN SOMETHING PEOPLE
thank you, come again
It really is amazing how you could string so many distinct words together and still manage to come up with blind, Mac-loving rhetoric. The point of the original poster was that if there were viruses in previous versions, it is quite likely that there will be viruses in subsequent versions. It's called deductive reasoning - try it sometime, troll.
On a side-note, it's absolutely hilarious how rabid Mac-users are about their little toys. It just goes to show you that you can throw a shiny, colorful veneer on just about any piece of junk and still convince the braindead masses that it's the best thing since frontal lobotomies.
Right on... Mac users are promiscuous. They share files, click any url that comes their way, install shareware, etc. Kinda like gays when AIDS showed up... their behavior will have to change or they're gonna have sick Macs... Unix isn't all good, there's some bad there too.
You are rather shrill, nervous?
