[X4U] TROJEN Horse IN IWORK09

[Ed Gould]

"Pirated copies of Apple's new iWork '09 suite that are now available  
on file-sharing sites contain a Trojan horse that hijacks Macs and  
leaves them open to further attack, a security company said  
yesterday. The 'iServices.a' Trojan hitchhikes on iWork '09's  
installer, said Intego, which makes Mac security software. 'The  
installer for the Trojan horse is launched as soon as a user begins  
the installation of iWork, following the installer's request of an  
administrator password,' Intego said in a warning. Once installed,  
the Trojan "phones home" to a malicious server to notify the hacker  
that the Mac has been compromised, and to await instructions."
