Flashback Infection Hits 700,000 Mac Users


More than 700,000 Macintosh computers have been infected with malware that exploits a flaw in Java, and the number keeps growing. The Flashback Trojan, which plants an executable file on a Mac that fetches additional malware, was uncovered earlier this week by Doctor Web. The infection has reached 700,000 computers, but its growth has slowed down, said Doctor Web CEO Boris Sharov.
