[Ambassadors] New Trojan Threatens Mac OS X, Linux Machines

[Jon]

I believe the OP was referring to this (?):

http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002400.html

It's from July, but I keep seeing the same news appear on different sites.
I do believe they are all referring to the above link.
That is unless the kit has been taken, modified, adapted, evolved,
etc... into something new.


Best regards,
