Mac Users Face Malware Threat

Security experts are warning users about a malicious script for Apple's Mac OS X . The worm can harvest passwords, destroy data and install remote control software and backdoors onto a user's computer.
Dubbed 'Opener' by Mac user Web sites, the worm is a Unix shell script that tries to turn off OS X's firewall, and then downloads and installs various remote-control and password-cracking applications.
Further information about the malware, which antivirus companies Sophos and Symantec are calling 'Renepo,' can be viewed at Sophos' Web site.
