Trojan in iWork09 - Friday Favourite
Now, this weeks favourite just came in. I was scouring my RSS feeds for interesting stuff to post but nothing really caught my eye. You know, we had the usual 10 million XSS holes, 5 million SQL injections and the odd buffer overflow but this is not as much an exploit in software as it is an exploit in stupidity.
Most Mac OSX users that I know are the types of people that think that since they switched, they don’t need an Antivirus. After all, there are no viri on Mac OSX right? Yea, and I suppose their default firewall will protect you against outgoing connections too. Anyhow back on point, these people are also the types of people that are willing to “borrow” software. Well, that’s great because if they borrow iWork09 then its possible they could get a trojan *GASP*:

Who would have thought? I guess a trojan isn’t technically a virus, but can be a means for a virus to spread. Well, that’s enough on that topic and should give you something to ponder.
