Two Mac viruses have been seen in the wild targeting the 'super secure', 'nothing ever gets it' operating system.
In a press release security outfit, Intego reported that Trojans have the potential to cause serious damage to Mac desktops.

The first is installed a the heart of a poker application and the second, takes advantage of a hole in the ARDAgent.
The flaw in ARDAgent allows the virus to execute code as root when it is run on a machine. If anyone is daft enough to run such an executable based on the trojan it can gain the privileges of the user.

Since ARDAgent is controlled by root it means that the trojan can run code without first entering a password.
The second Trojan Mac users is called 'Poker Game,' the Trojan requires users to download the application and then run it before it becomes active.

Intego said that the Trojan in question is a shell script encapsulated in an application, and is distributed in a 65 KB Zip archive; unzipped, it is 180 KB.

Once downloaded and run, the virus activates the SSH and sends the user name and password to a server. From there, hackers can access the user's machine, deleting files, modifying the OS. X
