Mac Trojan spotted
TrendMicro has spotted another Domain Naming System (DNS) Trojan targeting Mac systems. The malware, known as OSX/Jahlav-D, masquerades as a MacCinema Installer. Users are prompted to update QuickTime Player by downloading a QuickTimeUpdate.dmg file.
The Trojan affects systems in the same was as its predecessor, OSX/Jahlav-C, which was spotted in June. Most encounters involve websites hosting video content. Once infected, the malware allows a user's web traffic to be diverted to malicious locations such as phishing sites.
To avoid infection, users are advised to avoid downloading or installing Mac software updates from sources other than Apple.

"Video Sites" =
p*** sites, which has become the domain of the Mac OS X Trojan. You reap what you sow I guess. For the one millionth time, if it says you need to install a "plug-in" or "update" to see Anjolina naked, you don't. You just need to google better . . . it's "Anjelina".
