Hey everyone!

Looks like spring is finally coming back. After a short hiatus, the warm, sunny days are returning, with temperatures in the 70s and 80s here in New Hampshire. In addition to about a dozen motorcycles and a handful of bicycles, this morning on my ride to work I saw several people towing boats. Time to drag out the summer toys! In preparation for the hot days to come, I bought a small wading pool so I can soak in my back yard while writing blog articles.

The past two weeks have been abuzz with news about two new Trojans that are specifically aimed at Macs. Flashback pretends to be an update to Adobe Flash Player. Sabpab uses a known exploit in Microsoft Word documents to infect your Mac with a backdoor. Sadly, it looks like the walls on our little corner of Utopia are coming down, and we’re all going to have to be a bit smarter when we surf.

This week, we feature an article about why these new Trojans are able to infect your Mac, as well as some information on new life for your old G4, and an editorial about the latest Flashback hype. A little something to read when you get tired of being outside.

Thanks for reading!
