Well-known Windows backdoor malware 'Snake' has been ported to the Mac for the first time, according to MalwareBytes.

It said that I needed to upgrade my adobe flash player to pro. I ignored this for about 2 months until I decided to install adobe flash player pro.

In all, this is one of the sneakier bits of Mac malware lately. Although it's still 'just a Trojan,' it's a quite convincing one if distributed properly. Although Mac users tend to scoff at Trojans, believing them to be easy to avoid, this is not always the case.
