Just a bit of irony that I got today from my colleague Juha Kauppinen. Macvirus.org, a website dedicated to �keeping an eye on Mac viruses�, has had their discussion forums seeded with vast amounts of forum spam pushing various junk and lots of hardcore porn, including a number pushing malware (fake codecs).
Here�s one pushing fake codecs for both Mac and Windows platforms (the site serving the fake codec simply detects your user agent and delivers the appropriate malware). I picked up a couple of samples: Mac Virustotal report here, Windows Virustotal report here.
Hmm� a Mac virus being pushed on a Mac forum.
In fairness, the site looks like it hasn�t been updated in a long time. Still, rather embarrassing for these folks�
