It's a trojan horse! Run!

Yes folks, it's that time again... Time for news of a potential Trojan Horse for Mac OS X. First, my apologies to the builders of the original Trojan Horse. You had no way of knowing cleverly loading up soldiers in a wooden horse masquerading as a gift would be turned into shorthand for anything online that makes the user do something stupid. A piece of history you may not know though: no one's quite sure if the original horse actually existed, or is the product of writers/poets.

So maybe it is fitting now and then Mac users are hit with a sensationalized story of what may or may not be an actual danger for OS X users.

Real or not, I'll take one Trojan Horse over thousands of viruses any day. Never enter your password unless you know why you're doing it, and never allow a program to run that you're not familiar with. Problem solved.
