F-INSECURE, Spreading FUD Since ‘94

So I wanted to write an update regarding the recent post about the first OSX malware which was sent and not found by F-Secure.  I was reading the Rixstep blog and he has a really nice write up regarding this report.  Below is a quote from his post:

What a bunch of incompetent pompous boobs. First of all, F-Secure didn’t ‘discover’ anything - it was sent to them. Secondly, you can’t copy ’system library files’ to a machine without privilege escalation. Period. Thirdly, it’s obvious - especially when reading the ‘gem’ ‘Kamil’ posted - that the team at F-Secure are hideously incompetent when it comes to OS X and Unix in general.
