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

[Dan Mashal]

Really the only ways to get in are the following:

1) CVEs on the packages in the stable repo
2)  Vulnerabilities in software such as web browsers
3) Sniffing unecnrypted data
4) dictionary attacks
5) network scanning/port vulnerabilities
6) Pushing out fake updates with back doors.

Again, that was the god old days.
