First Worm for Mac OS X?
Sunday, February 19th, 2006
Symantec has announced 
what may be the first virus written to target Mac OS X.
Called OSX.Leap.A, the worm-like virus spreads itself as an iChat file attachment.
But is it a real worm or just a clever script, a genuine threat or a false alarm like others in the past?
Leander Kahney on Cult of Mac considers the options , offering the conclusion that “it may be mostly harmless now, but will likely lead to much nastier versions in the future.”
