:: Apple users stunned by Trojan virus ::
:::August 13, 2008:::
Security holes in the most up-to-date versions of Tiger and Leopard enable attackers to install malware onto OS X without a user having to type in an administrator's password.This flaw means that hackers could get access sensitive data on a machine or even take over the machine for use in botnet attacks. Speaking to The Register about the Trojan horse program, Dino Dai Zovi, a security researcher who helped dissect the Trojan, said: "This shows that there is an active community of researchers who are looking for vulnerabilities in Mac OS X and not reporting their findings to Apple." Sites such as iChat and Limewire are said to have been spreading the malware unknowingly. Written by: Marc Chacksfield Sent by: massoccer88 |
