Antivirus company Sophos claims they have discovered the first trojan for Mac OS X.
The trojan named Mac/Cowhand-A copies itself into the startup items and opens a backdoor to allow access through the network, acting as a proxy.
Sophos didn't give any information whether this virus is only a proof-of-concept or already spreading.
