Mac Spyware

With the release of Tiger and the new dashboard widgets someone has finally created spyware for the Mac. Its name is zaptastic and although it is just annoying some security concerns arise. Spyware is on the way for the innocent Mac user. I don't think spyweare will be as prevalent on the Mac as it is on windows but that is only because more people use windows.

However the culture of Mac users might become fertile ground for spyware venders. Mac users have historically disregarded security. Hopefully that history does not cause spyware writers to target Mac's as windows users start hardening their machines.
