Read there is a reported Trojan horse program-iBot-attacking Macs. Apparently, only a few thousand affected so far, but, possibly more attacks coming. Is it time to start worrying about OS X's vulnuerability?

According to CNN, Symantec researchers have dubbed the new trojan that attacks Mac's, iBotnet. The only thing they didn't release is how you get the virus. You actually get the virus from downloading and installing illegal software. So if you don't do that you should be o.k.

There is already an iServices Trojan Removal tool available, so there is a cure for this one if you happen to be unfortunate to get it.
