With approximately 91,000,000 Macs in the wild, if this OSX Botnet actually exists, then the 17,658 infected Macs (my isn't that an impressively accurate number?) represent 0.019404% of all Macs may have been infected. How, exactly, did these guys even find one? Much less come up with all 17,658??? And the list them by country of location. I call FUD!

Dr. Web's claimed locations of the Mac Botnet members by the numbers.
Why the absence of Japan, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Germany, the Arabian countries, Israel, and several others that have large Mac numbers? Strange.
