Another virus found attacking Macs
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060221/tc_nm/apple_worm_dc


The new worm, called OSX.Inqtana.A, spreads through a vulnerability in Apple's
OS X operating system via Bluetooth wireless connections, antivirus company Symantec said.

"We have speculated that attackers would turn their attention to other platforms, and two back-to-back examples of malicious code targeting Macintosh OS X ... illustrate this emerging trend," said Vincent Weafer, senior director at Symantec Security Response.



// Update those virus libraries folks. Looks like the idiots who write these viruses are on a roll.
