Over half a million Macs have been infected by the Flashback virus.  The virus creates a botnet designed to steal personal information.  A new variant was found over the weekend that takes advantage of a vulnerability in Java that Apple released a patch for today.

Takeaways:

– Keep up to date on patches, especially when online.

– Don’t get cocky about whatever platform you’re running.  For a while, Mac enthusiasts laughed at how vulnerable to viruses Windows was.  Now, the Mac is as vulnerable.
