Mac botnet malware warning from Symantec

Yes, we’re all aware that the Mac is pretty solid against viruses, but it’s not impervious. Evidence of this comes from a report at 9to5Mac in which they state, “Security researchers at Symantec have uncovered what they suspect may be the first Mac OS X botnet launching denial-of service attacks.” Of course, to get it, you have to bypass Apple’s warnings and break the #1 rule of downloading content from the web, but you know, malware nonetheless.
