Mac malware evolves!
I have posted here several times in the last few weeks about the malware attack on Apple PCs (here, here, and here). Well, the attacks haven't stopped, and the situation gets thornier every few days, it seems. Sophos has posted several web articles on the issue, the most recent should be read by everyone who uses a Mac.
They also posted a history of malware for Macs. The most interesting part of it is that the very first virus in the wild was aimed at Apple II computers, several years before DOS/Windows viruses hit the Internet (or floppy disks, before the advent of the Etherweb).
Please, be careful out there!

"Apple PCs"? I thought it was a hanging offence, among Mac users, to refer to an Apple computer as a "PC"!

Last I heard, Apple computers are still "personal".
