Mac Trojan found on pirated Photoshop, iWork ’09

A new piece of Trojan Horse malware has found its way onto pirated copies of Photoshop and iWork ’09, according to security firm Intego. The person using the pirated software activates the Trojan when he runs the other program to generate a false serial number. If he enters his admin password (standard procedure when installing most software), the Trojan installs other applications which start listening for an open TCP port, allowing another user to have remote access to the Mac.
