The first trojan for Mac OS X has apparently surfaced, reports Mac security group Intego. The concept of Mac trojans is so new, nobody is even disagreeing about the name: MP3Virus.Gen. "Our virus team found an apparent weakness with the way OS X handles some MP3 files whereby a file can be labeled an MP3 file, but not actually be one," says Intego spokesman Brian Davis. Virus code could be encapsulated in the ID3 tag of the MP3 file. When opened, it launches iTunes to make you think you've launched a legit MP3, but then has the potential to delete all of your personal files. Mac Observer has more detail.

With any luck, this will completely destroy the only remaining argument Apple fanboys have when they dare to challenge me in an OS X vs WinXP argument. Pwning the other ones -- appearance, stability, gaming, performance, software support, DV, Photoshop, and ease of use -- is like shooting fish in a barrel, so now I can really have them running home to their mothers with their tails between their legs. Muahahaha.
