Mac malware found in malformed Word documents - is China to blame? | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
Minority groups in China appear to have been targeted by a Mac malware attack, delivered via boobytrapped Word documents.

Who could possibly be interested in targeting their computers?

 

It is true that there is much less malware for OS X than there is for Windows, but that's not going to make you feel any better if you end up targeted in an attack like this.

 

Mac users, just like Windows users, need to ensure that they install the latest security patches and keep their software properly up-to-date.

If you're not already doing so, run anti-virus software on your Macs.

 

If you're a home user, there really is no excuse at all as we offer a free anti-virus for Mac consumers.
