Yesterday there was the announce of the first Trojan for OS X. [discussion]. Intego, a French software company making Mac antiviruses was the first one to release a note about it - in a few hours it was discussed all around the boards. [intego's hoaxy style article]. The trojan, MP3Concept (MP3Virus.Gen) gave no results with google yesterday.

Then someone found [this comment in the web], dated in March. Very interesting... why would he sign the discussion with his own name? You can find pretty much about this Bo Lindbergh - the city, country, the university he attended, his other interests .. the trojan made it big on [ ./ ] but [someone had problems opening the trojan infected file with panther]. The [Wired article] about it was moved quickly to the "articles" section.

I bet there would be a lot more to find but I don't feel like hoax hunting. All night and still my stomach feels like a string orchestra - bloated, like there was an intere swimming pool injected to my body, and some violin strings inside my guts that are set so tight that breathing makes me sound like a symphony - not just the notes from C to F but all the scale violin has, and the basss, the drums and the trumpets and harps.

Edit: Leander reads his emails. [article in Wired 30 min after feedback]
