"For the first time Mac users around the world are the target of a
malicious code, security experts warn. According to Sophos, when the
latestpics.tgz file is opened it disguises itself with a JPEG graphic
icon to fool people into thinking it is harmless.
The virus, named OSX/Leap-A, spreads via the instant messaging iChat
program as a file called latestpics.tgz and attempts to spread to
contacts on an infected user's buddy list".
Hmmm...I don't Chat cause I ain't got no buddy...jf
