Re: [PCI] OSX trojan

Wow, thanks for all the info Bruce.

There's no mechanism for this to easily spread itself, since any code
that could use the system to propagate itself will require an
administrative password.
This is what I thought anyways.

As far as my big corruption issue goes, I finally just completely wiped 
the HD the other day and decided it was time to upgrade to 10.3.3. I 
kept having minor little issues with the OS ever since I had to 
resurrect it. O well, things are back to solid as ever now. 10.3.3 is 
real nice

and it seems, though they're not
talking, that Intego actually based all of this on the proof-of-concept
file that was discussed on usenet back in March.
Just another marketing strategy  >>fear<<<
