Mac Trojan Horse Found

Mac Trojan Horse OSX.Trojan.iServices.A Found in Pirated Apple iWork 09. Apparently there are pirated copies of iWork '09 floating around on bittorrent. Another reason not to steal software is you don't know what you get. In this case someone's added a malicious program that installs itself in /System/Library/StartupItems/ with full privileges (since you entered an admin password during the iWork installer). It just calls home telling someone that it's there and is ready to accept (any) command to run. Not cool.
