Trojan horse targets Mac OS X
The trojan claims to install a video codec necessary for viewing free pornographic videos on Macs, but when users click on the still images to view the content they are directed to a Web page stating that they must download a new version of a codec to play the movie file with QuickTime. Safari users who have checked the "Open 'Safe' Files After Downloading" option in General Preferences will find that the disk image which is downloaded to their Mac automatically mounts, and the installer application will automatically launch.
Proceeding with the installation installs the trojan horse, and requires users to enter their administrator password which grants the malicious software full root privileges. No codec is installed and users who return to the website simply receive another download request.
