INTEGO SECURITY MEMO - NOVEMBER 06, 2006 OSX.MACHARENA.A VIRUS Virus: OSX.MachArena.A virus (aka OSX.Macarena) Discovered: November 2, 2006 Risk: Very low Description: This proof-of-concept virus, which has not yet been seen in the wild, was published on a hacker Web site. The virus can only infect Intel-based OS X computers. It consists of a C source file, an Assembler 'dropper' file, and documentation that explains how to create a virus that can infect Macintosh OS X binary files. Compiling the source code creates two binaries, the OS X virus file itself, and the dropper.
