First, did you bother to read the article? "The chances of Mac users actually being affected by Inqtana.A are remote, however." This isn't FUD. It's telling it like it is.

Second, you'd better get used to an increase in Mac OS X vulnerabilities. Obviously, hackers are starting to pay attention, so that means more malware being written to target the OS. But look on the bright side: Security will no doubt improve as a result -- and Mac disciples will get an opportunity to shelve their self-delusion over security invulnerability.

Yes, Bush, I did read the article.. and it is FUD. The security problem has been long since patched, to be infected you would have to accept a file from an untrusted person within 30 feet (in reality, only about 20 feet), download it, give it permission to install, and then again give it permission to run for the first time. It is NOT news that a application file can be sent via Bluetooth... nor is it news that an application file can carry something malicious. That is called a Trojan and ANY system can be compromised by a user executing an application that has malicious intent hidden in it.

Both Inqtana.A and Leap.A are still subject to the built in protections that OS X and Apple have to remind users to stop and think before executing an application. Inqtana.A is just a little more obvious... an unknown server suddenly offers you a file over Bluetooth, something you have never encountered before, should you accept it? Should you install it? Should you execute it? If a user thinks that is safe, they deserve what they get.
