iBotnet - MAC compromised and used for Botnets

ZDNet reports that malware researchers have found zombies on Macs that could be used in DoS attacks. If the Mac has certain pirated software running, it could be part of the botnet. Sometimes OS fanboys as I like to call them are so snobbish of THEIR OS, they don't think THEIR OS can be 0wn3d. Very wrong, it is all up to the enduser in this case in making sure his system is secured. If one wants to download torrents or run pirated software, he is at risk, along with looking at dubious websites, such as pr0n.
