Very interesting news about the Flashback trojan that supposedly has infected 600,000 of between 45 an 70 million Macs. According to F-Secure, the app will delete itself it finds a user has Xcode (among other tools) and move on. The list of apps looks like they could or would be used by technical people, developers, and hackers – not your average user.
Andy Baio:
“To a virus author, the presence of development tools like Xcode is a perfect indicator of a tech-savvy user… the kind of person most likely to detect your work.”
