"The risk of infection is serious, and users may face extremely serious consequences if their Macs are accessible to malicious users," the company's alert continued. Intego said that iWork '09 download traffic on file-sharing sites has been brisk, claiming that as of early Wednesday, 20,000 copies had been downloaded. Intego did not spell out what second-stage actions the iServices.a Trojan takes, but noted that they could include delivering additional malware to the hijacked machine. Once installed, the Trojan "phones home" to a malicious server to notify the hacker that the Mac has been compromised, and to await instructions.
