Mac Malware Outbreak Is Bigger than 'Conficker'

http://j.mp/IbiiU1  (PC World)

   "An estimated 600,000 or more Macs are currently compromised and part
    of a massive botnet thanks to the Flashback Trojan. To put the size of
    the threat in some perspective, the Flashback Trojan botnet is even
    bigger than the massive Conficker botnetrelatively speaking."
