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."

However, blocking the threat is as simple as an ACL on your router...
New Version of OSX drops, shortly after new malware discovered that only affects old versions.
I smell marketing ploy.
