The First Apple Trojan

Symantec recently confirmed that the first "pure" Mac Trojan had taken control of around 1000 computers.  Nicknamed iBotNet the piece of malicious code is embedded in pirated versions of the very popular Apple Works '09 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.  Although a first, Symantec said that there isn't really anything to be worried about as iBotNet has seized control of very few computers, compared to some of the more famous Trojans such as Conficker or CRYZIP.
