Real or imagined, or just trumpeted by companys to sell more
antivirus software, its one good way to scare folks away from
pirating software, eh?
That's why I I directed the message to "all ye pirates." Thank
goodness that's not you, me, or anyone we know, eh?

no one outside of symantec has recreated this... or confirmed.
marketing, sales gimmick, or potential threat. I'll give this

Forewarned is forearmed.
Quoting researchers at Symantec, CBC News reports that the first
ever bot network of Macintosh computers has been spotted. Moreover,
these zombies were infected with the OSX.Iservice (iService)
Trojan, which was the payload delivered by illegal copies of Apple
iWork ‘09 and Adobe Photoshop CS 4 downloaded from peer-to-peer
file sharing networks.
“OSX.Iservice is an interesting piece of malware—not only does it
make use of Mac OS internals, but it is also the first Mac botnet
that we are aware of,” said Mario Barcena and Alfredo Pesoli,
researchers, Symantec Ireland. “With malware authors showing an
increasing interest in the Mac platform, we believe that more
advanced [user interface] spoofing tricks may be seen in the future.”
