Trojan horse 'masquerades' as a Flash Player installer

Is it just me, or is 2011 a bad year for Mac security?

 

First there was Mac Defender. Then came Mac malware in the form of PDF Trojan horses. Now there's a new Trojan horse, which "masquerades" as a Flash Player installer. Granted, the threats are currently low - but I can't be the only one who sees this as a beginning of more bad to come. :wacko:

Well, looks like Apple acted quickly. :tup:Apple updates OS X to block Mac Trojan.

 

"...But more malware, posing as phony Flash installer, pops up." :lol:
