Interesting article in over on cnet

While I'm not being all doom and gloom, the increased popularity of the Mac certainly is increasing its visability.

The thing that bothers me is "It is especially interesting since it doesn't require administrative privileges to nestle itself on the computers, according to F-Secure."

My guess it's talking about installing something in ~/Library/InputManagers which doesn't require authentication since it's in your own account.

Hope apple quickly fixes this so it can't do that.

That article is so vague, it's impossible to tell what they're talking about. I'm going to guess they're presenting another example of "If only there were some way to get this malware onto a Mac and have it spread, it would be disastrous!" FUD.
