New Mac Trojan Installs Silently, No Password Required
An anonymous reader writes "A new Mac OS X Trojan referred to as OSX/Crisis silently infects OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X 10.7 Lion. The backdoor component calls home to the IP address 176.58.100.37 every five minutes, awaiting instructions. The threat was created in a way that is intended to make reverse engineering more difficult, an added extra that is more common with Windows malware than it is with Mac malware."
Yeah, right.
Good call. Let me fire up my trojan botnet.
This is not a Kid, this is a Virus. At least try to read the summary, I bet even your Trojan can do that.
that a new version of OSX has just become available to purchase, better rush out and buy it.
Nullius in verba
That's not a trojan, that's Mountain Lion.
Kids and Viruses have a lot in common. They delete all your stuff, cost tons of money in repairs. The big difference is that you usually like it more when your kids replicate.
How? From all the Mac users who know how to do that?

If you had a trojan you might not have kids or catch a bad virus as easily
