MAC Users beware... first Apple virus warning - GoFuckYourself.com

LadyMischief · 02-17-2006, 09:48 AM

Users of Apple computers were today being warned to protect themselves after the existence of a new kind of worm virus emerged.

The Leap-A worm, which spreads through instant messaging program iChat, is thought to be the first virus for the Apple platform. It poses as a series of pictures which, when opened, allows the worm through a security loophole in order to implant itself in other programs.
Figured I'd share that since I know there's quite a few mac users here

ya, 1 worm and its drama

welcome to the pc world, where everyday theres a new bug

Fuck almighty, these virus and worm creators should all be hanged literally. The productivity they cost businesses is out of control. Time to make the penalties severe and harsh for these cockroaches.

I'm sick and tired of doing security updates. Every week its another thing to worry about attacking your systems.

I'm reformatting my laptop (rarely use it, so the AV protection was not updated) right now because of a virus it picked up logging onto a hotel ISP(the Windows WMF exploit).

You really have to vigilant with every point of contact with the outside world.

Now I'm going back to my cave.

Its pretty much to the point where everyone should just use a simple browser and e-mail only PC for surfing the Net and a 2nd PC with all their work apps on it always kept off the Net.
