Experts warn of porn Mac attacks

[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.

Shy,
The main point of the warning is that if they can infiltrate MACs via porn sites, they can now breach MAC security via any sort of software site. So MAC users be more cautious and don't think that you are totally secure.
