Mac OS X trojan attacks websites from your computer

Mac computers have been known to be rather resilient against virus's and malware, but that doesn't mean that Mac users should be taking that for granted, especially since hackers have managed to port over of the Linux/Tsunami trojan horse onto Mac OS X. The new trojan has been dubbed OSX/Tsunami and it basically takes over your computer and uses it to attack other websites, which could prove to be complicated should legal action be taken against you. Discovered by software security company, ESET, it's similar to its Linux predecessor in the sense that it uses IRC (Internet Relay Chat) to communicate.
