Wow, there are now 32 pieces of malware targeting OS X!!
Security firm F-Secure has discovered 32 variants of it

If we use the same logic used by Mac zealots, every variant is a brand new piece of malware. It doesn't matter that all 32 are stopped using the same defensive measure, all that seems to matter to the Mac zealot is the count of attacks, not the count of defenses. In other words, a person behind bulletproof glass (1 defensive measure) gets shot at with 1 bullet (1 attack), he is safer than a person behind bulletproof glass (1 defensive measure) who gets shot at with 1,000 bullets (1,000 attacks). It doesn't really matter to the Mac zealot that neither person is harmed and that neither person had to work any harder to stay unharmed, the Mac zealot still believes that the second person is in more danger and had to work harder to stay unharmed.

Anyway, since I am free to use the same messed up logic that the Mac zealots use, the "in the wild, targeting OS X" count went up 3,200% in a week! At this rate, OS X will be more dangerous than Windows in a couple weeks and Mac zealots will have to pay for AV, keep it up to date, and live in fear that around the next URL, there may be something waiting to get you!

snicker, smirk happy
