I just thought I'd bring a couple of new Trojans to the attention of the MacOSX.com community.
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001461.html Backdoor.Mac.Hovdy.a apparently isn't in the wild yet, but the source code for it is circulating, meaning it is only a matter of time. Being a trojan, it still requires user intervention or social engineering to spread.

PokerStealer.A heavily relies on social engineering. It comes with the filename PokerGame.app (180Kb), sounds interesting, right? ... However, once executed, it will prompt the user for a password.

I'd just like to remind the forums that we aren't immune to social engineering, and a good deal of common sense, along with a suspicion of any app from an unknown source, will save you a lot of trouble.
