Still think Macs are impenetrable bastions of virus- and malware-free computing? Pay attention to this
eWeek article about what security researchers found in Russia: a malware affiliate network was offering 43 cents per Mac for scareware installs.
"Mac users are not immune to the scareware threat," Samosseiko wrote in a paper released at the conference. "In fact, there are 'codec-partnerka' dedicated to the sale and promotion of fake Mac software. One of the recent examples is Mac-codec.com … the site is no longer available, but just a few months ago it was offering $0.43 for each install and offered various promo materials in the form of MacOS 'video players.'"
