Malicious Trojan Virus in pirated iWork

Im not really trying to warn anyone. Im trying to point out that with more interest in the OS comes more focus from maliciously minded people. Obviously having direct access to apps before they install makes it easy to insert malicious code so Im not saying OSX is weak by any means. Im just saying that OSX is pretty secure because of its design and also because of the use percentage and as this percentage grows so will the likelihood we will start seeing more and more malicious behavior.

How have you been I have not seen you on since november.

That's with newer torrents that are publicly available.

I got my copy from -----------, of which there is only 1 torrent and it didn't have the trojan.

Lets remember to leave the specifics out. -lanceomni

An OS is only as secure as it's user base makes it.

Unfortunately, a LOT of Mac users feel like they're immune to these types threats, which means that when the focus of virus/ trojan writers does turn to OS X they will more than likely have a very easy time infecting a LOT of machines.

That whole thing about history repeating itself if you don't learn from it.

If you are downloading the trial version of iWork directly from Apple then using an "obtained" serial, this will not apply.

The "Free Trial" button at the top of the iWork page.

@nfoav8orThe "Free Trial" button at the top of the iWork page.

Right, it would help to remember to be in the iWork page and not iLife... My bad.

@DiesAn OS is only as secure as it's user base makes it.

An OS is only as secure as it's user makes it. I think that says it better.

why bother with warez

@nfoav8orIf you are downloading the trial version of iWork directly from Apple then using an "obtained" serial, this will not apply.

Or you may download the trial, edit the plist and turn the trial in retail

I downloaded the trial, from the Apple site, I only need it for my Science coursework .
