MP3Virus.Gen - Mac OS X Trojan Horse warning

Never say ... never!

According to MacCentral, Macintosh security specialists, Intego on Thursday issued a security warning to its customers for the first Trojan horse to affect Mac OS X. Intego has dubbed the Trojan MP3Concept (MP3Virus.Gen). The Trojan horse exploits a weakness in Mac OS X where applications can appear to be other types of files, according to the company.

I do not wish a virus upon anyone ... but this is one worth laughing about. With all the Mac owners touting how secure their systems are from attack, this Trojan sneaks in on an MP3 music file.

Complete story can be found in the Virus Alert area at the Band of Gonzos website.
