Malicious Code Hidden In Pirated Software
Internet security firm Intego said on Thursday that it has discovered a new Trojan horse in pirated copies of Apple’s iWork ‘09 productivity software that could allow an attacker to take control of the infected computer.
The Trojan horse, OSX.Trojan.iServices.A, discovered circulating in copies of the software on BitTorrent trackers and other pirate sites, is rated serious, according to Intego’s security alert.
That’s what you get when you download pirated software. Sometimes you get the treasure chest, sometimes you get the booby prize.
