> Mac malware is back in the news again. Last week, security firm F-Secure warned
> that it had discovered a Trojan built for OS X that was disguised as a PDF
> document. It's not clear whether this malware is a present threat -- it was
> apparently created sometime last year -- but the mechanics of how it infects Mac
> systems is worth a closer look because it challenges a widely-held belief among
> Mac users that malicious software cannot install without explicit user
> permission.
