SecureMac has issued a security advisory that it has discovered multiple variants of a new Trojan horse in the wild that affects OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
The Trojan horse is being distributed via a hacker website where there are discussions to distribute the Trojan horse via iChat and LimeWire.
The Trojan horse is distributed as a compiled AppleScript, called ASthtv05 (60 KB) or an application, AStht_v06 (3.1 MB). The end user must download and open the Trojan horse in order for it to infect their computer.
The Trojan horse allows for remote access of the system and can transmit sensitive information, including keystrokes and passwords.
Be careful out there everyone.
