New Mac Malware - HellRTS

Seems there is a new piece of Mac Malware that can infect OS X. Of course, a security firm that makes malware protection for the Mac is the same that is warning people about it. The reality is that there are no known cases of this malware "out in the wild"; just proof of concept floating around hacker forums. This is not to say that someone couldn't easily create a tojan with the available code. I think one of the main security concerns on the Mac is that of Safari's practice of "opening safe files after downloading". As I always suggest for my Windows users's; use Firefox :-)
