Two new malware attacks against Mac users

Earlier this week, we saw an interesting article on theage.com.au that discusses two new malware variants (named OSX/Tored-A and OSX/Jahlav-C).

Also noteworthy aside from the fact that these target the Mac user base (which is normally considered to be a less valuable target to attackers due to the smaller user base) is the fact that the authors are using adult content websites for propagation. There has been a declining trend of this on the spam scene over the past couple years.
