No, če ima kdo piratizirano verzijo iWork 09, naj preveri-prebere naslednjo zadevo:

Exploit: OSX.Trojan.iServices.A Trojan Horse

Discovered: January 21, 2009

Risk: Serious

Description: Intego has discovered a new Trojan horse, OSX.Trojan.iServices.A, which is currently circulating in copies of Apple’s iWork 09 found on BitTorrent trackers and other sites containing links to pirated software. The version of iWork 09, Apple’s productivity suite, are complete and functional, but the installer contains an additional package called iWorkServices.pkg.

When installing iWork 09, the iWorkServices package is installed. The installer for the Trojan horse is launched as soon as a user begins the installation of iWork, following the installer’s request of an administrator password (in older versions of Mac OS X, 10.5.1 or earlier, there will be no password request). This software is installed as a startup item (in /System/Library/StartupItems/iWorkServices, a location reserved normally for Apple startup items), where it has read-write-execute permissions for root. The malicious software connects to a remote server over the Internet; this means that a malicious user will be alerted that this Trojan horse is installed on different Macs, and will have the ability to connect to them and perform various actions remotely. The Trojan horse may also download additional components to an infected Mac.

Intego is issuing this alert to warn Mac users not to download iWork 09 installers from sites offering pirated software. (As of 6 am EST, at least 20,000 people have downloaded this installer.) The risk of infection is serious, and users may face extremely serious consequences if their Macs are accessible to malicious users.

Intego VirusBarrier X4 and X5 with virus definitions dated January 22, 2009 or later protect against this Trojan horse. Intego recommends that users never download and install software from untrusted sources or questionable web sites.

Vprašanje, ki se mi prvo poraja je: Komu je v večjem interesu sproducirat viruse, torjance, buge .... za os x? Hackerjem in šaljivcem ali proizvajalcem/prodajalcem zaščitniškega softvera?

Imam občutek da kar tem slednjim, ki iščejo novo tržno nišo...

Verjetno res razvijalci.. kar se mene tiče imajo vso pravico to narest

Verjetno res razvijalci.. kar se mene tiče imajo vso pravico to narest

Je pa moralno sporno če bi bilo to res... Tako kot je moralno sporno uporabljat nelegalno programsko opremo, se meni zdi moralno sporno produciranje virusev in osale krame, še toliko bolj če je v ozadju posel...

To da moraš v iWork vnesti geslo drži samo za trial varianto sneto iz Applove strani. Če pa kupiš paket z DVD-jem pa pri inštalaciji gesla ni. Kaj je razlog za takšno odločitev pri applu ne vem.

jaz sem samo serijksko dol potegnil z zlomljenih kamnov. trial pa iz apple.com.
mislim da to ni okuženo.

Jst sem ga tud dol potegnu z demonoida, da ga sprobam preden sem ga šel kupit, pa ni ne duha ne sluha o kakem sranju.

Ugrabljeni mac racunalniki s iServices.

iWork in tudi Photoshop CS4.

Zgleda da je res dovolj Mac uporabnikov, da smo ratal zanimivi za virusarje:
