A couple of weeks ago I asked the question if Apple OS X wasn’t a target for virus code writers. I guess with increasing popularity comes the bad along with the good. Just in the last week there have been two prof-of-concept worms for OS X released. Neither of these are viruses and they both require either a old version of the OS or manual help to execute, but it does show that OS X is vulnerable to malware.
We’ll have to see where this goes…
