The Washington Post has an article on how macs and linux machines are now being used as bots in botnets. Being a big mac fan and owner, this is very saddening. Even though I knew it would some day be published publicly that this could and would occur.

The redeeming point here is that the hackers used an inherent flaw not in the linux or mac OSX operating systems, but in the PHP programming language installed on most if not all Linux boxes and Macs.
