Rude awakening

A trojan has infected 550,000 of Apple's 'virus free' Mac OS X machines. lol

The attack works using a vulnerability in Java, and is delivered via infected web pages. Just visiting the web pages is enough to infect a machine, downloading an .exe file which then downloads further malicious software from elsewhere.

Dr Web claims that more than four million web pages are infected with the trojan.
