I just read this in my CounterSpy News e-mail:
Mac Attack
The bad guys are starting to catch up to Apple. Recently, organized identity thieves started using porn videos as a lure to deliver malware to Mac OS X users. In order to access the "porn" users must click through a series of screens when a Trojan is installed. It then has full control of your computer. The Trojan is programmed to change the Mac's DNS server, a trick used by phishers to load fake Web pages and hijack valuable user data.

If you go to a web site and OSX starts asking if you want to install something, the answer is No. This Trojan can't run unless the user tells OSX to install it.
