Mac Trojan horse found active "in the wild"

The October 30th post of MacInTouch has an important article about a malicious Trojan Horse for Mac users viewing videos on the web. The exploit claims that Quicktime can't play the movie selected and you therefore need to download a new version of the codex. Installing the codex provides the Trojan Horse your administrator password and control of your system.

The original alert is here.
