The problem with becoming more mainstream and popular with greater market share is you tend to attract a whole new set of ‘friends’. This is the new reality Mac users are going to face in the near future. Many are living under the misconception that the Mac operating system can’t be infected. The new reality is that it will be. Sophos has identified a variant of the darkComet Trojan named Blackhole RAT aimed directly at Mac X.
According to Sophos senior security advisor Chester Wisniewski, the Mac OS X variant is "very basic," with a mix of German and English in the user interface.
