You might find this article interesting... http://www.macobserver.com/editorial/2003/08/29.1.shtml A more recent search at Network Associates brings up 1 Worm and 3 Trojans for Mac OS X: http://search.mcafee.com/search?q=%22os+x%22&site=Virus&num=10&btnG=Search&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&client=default_frontend&oe=UTF-8&proxystylesheet=default_frontend&getfields=description&filter=0 Most of these are actually based on Unix and Linux, but affect Mac because it's core (Darwin) is a flavor of Unix. -welte-ga |
