First ever virus for Mac OS X discovered

<< < (4/4)

M51DPS:
Even if Apple did release a security update for iChat.... just what would it be updating? If I really wanted to, I could write an AppleScript to send someone an instant message, or someone could create an Automator action. This is not really taking advantage of a flaw to speak of.

Am I the only one wondering about that security feature which asks you if you want to open an application for the first time when you click on executables you just downloaded? When the Opener malware came out, I thought we would be protected against things like this.

EDIT: Some of the links were a bit screwy....

--- Quote from: sjor ---The new Mac OS X update (10.4.5) specifically said the iChat was updated. So there we go, no worries!  :)
The 10.4.5 update was only 4 MB for PPC, but was 40 something for Intel.

That article was written after 10.4.5 happened.
