MAC Defender Malware Hits Mac OS

There's a new shiny piece of Malware ready to exploit your computer and wallet on Mac OS called MAC Defender. It seems to be targeting Safari users on Mac using a java script exploit. If Safari's open safe files option is on, the program will be downloaded as a zip then the installer will automatically launch. Of course you still have to put in your password to install, so be aware of what you are installing. As always we recommend having a good and up to date antivirus, yes even on a Mac.
