ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

New Mac OSX Trojan Discovered... this trojan—Trojan.OSX. boonana.a & b—also has code which infects Windows (Trojan.Windows.boonana.a) and Linux (Trojan.Linux.boonana.a) machines. PING!

The rating on this trojan for OSX, Linux, and Windows is SEVERE! It includes a key logger, and reportedly seeks passwords and credit cards. The Windows version causes the infected the machine to join a spambot.

Currently, Apple OSX will not recognize this new Trojan as malware, as it is new and not in its malware definition files, but OSX WILL WARN YOU that you are downloading an application or applet from an untrusted website and that it does not have a valid certificate.

DO NOT CONTINUE!
... and certainly
DO NOT INSTALL IT!
