  That's why all of my computers are behind a hardware firewall with virus protection. My router has been filtering out this guy out for months. Old news but thanks for notifying anyone who thinks that their Macs can't catch a cold. The more Apple becomes popular the more hackers become interest in putting Apple in their place.

  According to the reports, if you have EVER had Little Snitch installed (even the free trial and even if you're not using it now) then you don't have to worry about this.
