Mac User's Beware - Trojan disguised as QT PlugIn
http://www.scmagazineus.com/Trojan-targets-Mac-users/article/58290/
Well, well, well - A professionally crafted - in the wild - trojan that targets Macs. This is not a proof-of-concept, but existing malware. Here's a quotable quote from Sunbelt Software's President, Alex Eckelberry:
How long until Linux gets hit? The more market share it gains, the more likely it will happen. That's when we will find out what weaknesses may exist in Linux that have gone heretofore unknown due to the "obscurity" factor. Can it stand the onslaught of organized crime targeting Linux users? Time will tell!

All things are possible, only believe.

other than mac, i think its going to take sometime for linux to catch on. Wal-mart in the past sold a machine with linux, and i don' tthink it did too well. they currently some online, and its getting bad reviews.
also, viruses for mac are bad news for the mac fanboys who think mac is 100% secure.Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.
