Unless you’re incredibly stupid..
Scott Gibertson at WebMonkey outlines a new Trojan threat to Mac users that is currently “out in the wild” and ready to pounce on the unsuspecting. Well, maybe not the unsuspecting… more like the extremely naive…
Yes, that’s right, there’s a new Mac virus lurking out there in the wild, but unless you’re incredibly stupid there’s no need to worry. The virus is technically a trojan, named Lamzev-A, which creates a backdoor for attackers to take over your Mac. At the moment the trojan disguises itself as video codec on what The Register calls “grumble flick” sites — that’d be porn to you and me.
On the PC side of things, I can say with all confidence that 9 times out of 10, a user who gets infected is a user not paying attention.

When not referring to himself in the third person, Brian likes rain and getting caught in Pina Coladas. Oh, and let's not forget making love to Cape dunes. Yeah, those really do it for me....er, um.. I mean Brian.
