Mac Virus/Trojan: Don’t open latestpics.tgz

by Shane Robinson on February 16, 2006

As reported on the Macworld site, there is a Mac OS X Trojan horse or worm being spread in a file called “latestpics.tgz.” From the Macworld article:

Reports indicate that someone has let loose a “Trojan horse” or worm for Mac OS X users. The program is hidden within a package that purportedly contains screenshots of Apple’s as-yet unannounced next major revision to Mac OS X. Whether it’s a Trojan horse or worm seems to vary depending on the source of the information.
