Just wanted to report that we are seeing Mac Malware attacks in our own backyard.
Several University Park and Highland Park clients have clicked on false warnings from Mac Defender, Mac Protector and Mac Security, stating that their computer is infected with a virus, and prompting them to buy software to clean it off.
The Malware is pretending to be an Anti Virus Software, that in turn, infects your computer with Malware.
Here are a couple of articles that explain in better detail the issue:
