–Trojan for Mac OS X Released
(16 February 2006)
A link to proof-of-concept malicious code for Mac OS X has appeared on
the Internet. The Trojan pretends to be screenshots of OS X “Leopard”
10.5. While it tries to send itself out to other machines through the
iChat instant messaging system, it does not harm the system it has
infected.

update:
it has now appeared in the wild.
so, the os with the fewest number of users has a new virus.
yet this virus doesn’t affect the bsd operating systems that osx is based on.
hmm.. seems apple created an exploitable os when they propritarised a bsd os into osx.
