Mac users aren't a lot different from Windows users. Most of them are entirely capable of allowing Trojans on their system via social engineering attacks.

The reason this article and your post are unnecessary is that this subject is well known and hashed over in boring detail already.

The only reason ZDNet publishes articles like this is to get page hits with a headline containing "Mac" and "Malware" in the same line.

And you fell for it.

And then in your haste to post something nasty about Apple, you didn't even search FR first -- the prior post title contained the identical string "Mac Malware". Really now...

Yup, everything the computing world loves about Mac users.
