malicious program

Filed under: News, Apple, iPhone

On OSNews, we try to steer away from speaking of specific security incidents, trojans, or viruses, unless they are in one way or the other special, or very influential.

Over the course of the past 12 months or so, many incidents concerning Mac security arose, but most, if not all, were lemons: they required the user to actively enter his administrator password, or to manually launch the malicious program.

In my book, these cases do not constitute as serious breaches of security, and hence, OSNews ignored them.
