Second trojan found in pirated Mac software
The second Trojan threat to Apple Mac users in less than a week had been found, this time in pirated copies of Adobe Photoshop CS4.
It is a new variant of the original trojan found in Apple iWork 09, and like the previous malware is found on BitTorrent sites which have links to pirated software. The actual Photoshop CS4 installer is clean, but the crack application needed to serialise it and run the program circumventing its copy protection contains the trojan.
If the Mac user is infected, they are at risk of having a remote hacker take control of their computer, who could launch spam, a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack or steal an identity.
