First Mac Virus

View Comments

Computer analysts are going berserk on the arrival of the first virus capable of infecting the Macintosh Operating System. MacOS has always been seen as less susceptible to viruses, in contrast with Microsoft Windows. This illusion has now been unearthed,  leaving the Mac community at least a bit shocked. The virus is called A-leap (or Oompa Loompa) and comes disguised as an image file.

Apple has not released any comment to date.
