Another innocuous Apple OS X malware that is already recognized by OS X's own built in anti-malware protection. . . meaning that only industrial strength stupid users will get infected by it. OSX/Keydnap is built on an already existing Trojan so it is already in the Gatekeeper protection built into all Macs. — PING!

If Gatekeeper has been configured by the user to execute all software regardless of source, the malware then downloads and runs the backdoor component which is executed at every reboot, replaces the Mach-O executable that the user clicked on with a decoy graphic or text file, and opens the decoy document in Preview.

OK. How do you know if Gatekeeper has been configured properly so this does not occur?
