Mac Malware

Let the fun begin. For the second time in as many days, some OS X malware has been discovered. Is this just a couple drops in the can, or is it only the beginning? Time will tell, but as OS X gets more and more popular, one can only reason that the frequency will increase. Linux/nix viruses/maleware probably never caught on too well because there was a certain “geek factor” associated with those operating systems. But the users of OS X are probably a ripe target for such abuse.

Update: Yet another scary issue.

Oh great, an OSX we have. So far so good on viruses. We’ve had MUCH less spam than with the PC, but in time, more spams are jumping the hurdles. I’m here to back up your mom’s book recommendation. You CANNOT live in Chicago and NOT read “The Devil in the White City.” I’m about half-way through now.
