Experts warn of porn Mac attacks

Post by dave.m »

Any MAC users , please be aware of this latest bulletin:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8096822.stm

Security experts have discovered two novel forms of Mac OS X malware.

OSX/Tored-A - an updated version of the Mac OS Tored worm - and a Trojan called OSX/Jahlav-C were both found on popular pornographic websites.

Users logging on to these sites are asked to download a "missing Video ActiveX Object" but are sent a virus payload instead.


Remember that the best security program is COMMON SENSE,
Think before you click.
Browse sensibly.
