Don't know if I missed a post on this or not but just reading an article from "Messaging NewsWire" below.

OSX.LEAP.A infected computers through Apple?s iChat instant messaging program. Once on the computers it replicated and sent itself to all other computer users listed as contacts in iChat. ?You will start to see more expoits, but only because Apple has garnered a lot of attention in the past year, said Vincent Weafer, a senior director at Symanec. Weafer was quick to point out that Windows is still far more vulnerable, with its few hundred thousand viruses compared to the 200 or so known for Apple. With the recent switch to Intel chips, security researchers (and perhaps virus writers) are interested to see what security holes could potentially be exploited. Another virus named OSX.Ingtana.A spread itself through Bluetooth wireless connections to Apple computers. Kinda hard to resist the apple and the worm analogy now. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
