I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "F-Secure is reporting that there are two new Mac OSX trojans. The first is just a proof of concept from the MacShadows people that takes advantage of the unpatched ARDAgent vulnerability to get root when run by the user. The second is a poker game that politely requests the users password, claiming to have detected a 'corrupt preference file'. It then takes control of the computer. Now that the source of the proof of concept is publicly available, we can expect that future trojans won't just politely request your password."
