There’s a worm in my Apple

If you’re lucky enough to own a Mac, welcome to the world of worms and viruses. A few viruses and worms have recently been discovered for the Mac platform.

Last week OSX/Leap-A was discovered.  The virus attemps to spread itself through Apple’s iChat instant messaging program which is also compatible with AOL’s popular AIM instant messaging program.

This week a new worm was discovered. Symantec is calling it OSX.Inqtana.A.  It spreads through a vulnerability in OSX’s bluetooth wireless connections.

So if you have a Mac and don’t have an antivirus program installed on it yet, now is probably a good time to do it. Now the Mac users will know what Windows users need to deal with everyday, the bottleneck of an antivirus program.
