Mac Virus
I realize they are technically just Trojans at this point, but the level of sophistication is coming for the Mac and their "don't need anti-virus" smug motherfuckers. The viruses on PC started out very rudimentary, and by default computers where very trusting (hi smb protocol), it sure is a good thing that Mac software devs had the example of Microsoft to learn from. They wouldn't ever develop a very promiscuous and trusting protocol to install with every Mac, (looking at you bonjour, also I was being sarcastic if that was missed.).
The link says it all, but the new iteration of a Mac Trojan is disabling the security update funcion on Macs after it is installed. The malware deletes itself if a piece of software that sounds a lot like anti-virus is detected.
Just keep gaining market share there mac, wait and see what the harsh spotlight really feels like.

ReplyDeleteNow Macs are just as shitty as a PC except they cost 5 times more. Great work Apple!
ReplyDeleteDamn it! I hate all of these stupid computer viruses. Maybe if my dinosaur of a mac keeps running I'll be immune because I've got all of the old OS anyway.
