Sophos warns vs new Trojan malware targeting Mac OS X - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "A new Trojan malware now stalks users of computers running Apple Inc.’s Mac OS X, using an old disguise that once fooled users of Microsoft’s Windows.

Computer security firm Sophos said the Trojan (identified as OSX/Revir-B Trojan) is disguised as a portable document file (PDF), and exploits vulnerabilities in the Mac OS.

“When we tested the malware inside our labs, we couldn’t manage to get it to execute as the author probably intended - however, strings embedded deep inside its code make it clear that it was written with malicious intent," Sophos said in a blog post. "
