The Flashback Trojan is a good example of how Mac users are now very much targets of cybercriminal gangs - no longer are these people a ragtag bunch of hackers simply looking to make a name for themselves but well-organised, profit-motivated gangsters - as was the MacDefender (and numerous variants) scareware campaign from last year.
