I amazes me, though it probably should not, that people get hit by
stuff like this. This sort of Trojan requires three layers of
stupidity - first you have to download pirated software, then fail to
thoroughly scan it, then you have to give pirated software admin
authority to install.
No system is safe against voluntary installation of suspect software.

There is a link in that article to the fix in case anyone is
interested. I
know no one on this list would need it of course...but perhaps you
have some
mac friends who think their machines are bullet proof and are in
need of it.
MacDailyNews reports 20k machines infected, there is a link on the
reddit
front page that suggests it may be 50k.
