And you thought MAC wont get an infection ?

Intego, a leading security application developer for OS X platform just issued a major security bulletin warning all apple users about a potential threat.

Intego has discovered a new Trojan horse, OSX.Trojan.iServices.A, which is currently circulating in copies of Apple’s iWork 09 found on BitTorrent trackers and other sites containing links to pirated software. The version of iWork 09, Apple’s productivity suite, are complete and functional, but the installer contains an additional package called iWorkServices.pkg.

According to their report, at-least 20,000 copy of this software has been distributed over P2P (Bit-Torrent) networks, all of those users are now possibly running a compromised MAC (OS X). Once infected with this malware, which is designed to install additional malware (Virus / Spyware / Adwares) the clean up process becomes very painful.
