Apple’s Mac platform has a reputation for being safe from security threats over the years; however, last week’s news of the Flashback Trojan has put Mac users on high alert. This malicious software (“malware”) poses as a common plug-in for Internet browsers, and is capable of stealing passwords and personal information. Reports stated that the scope of the threat was more than 600,000 machines. Norton can confirm that the number is trending downward, but as of yesterday, there were approximately 270,000 machines still infected. The vast majority of these infections are in the U.S. In order to safeguard your machines, Norton has released a tool to get rid of it, other than Apple releasing their own patch.
