A new trojan horse found under OSX

Intego announces the discovery of a new Trojan horse aimed at Mac OS X and its users.
Disguised as a game of poker under the name " PokerGame" , it hides a malicious script which will activate SHH on the target machine and will recover the identifiers and administrator password which will be then sent on a server. To encourage the person to deliver this information, it will pretend that there is a corrupted preference file and will ask to repair them.
Strong with the knowledge of the IP of the target machine and its keys of access, a pirate will be able to take control, all of it at least if the machine is not behind a router on which the translations of ports have been made.
As always be circumspect before returning your password administrator.
