OS X/Leap-A: Virus, Worm, Or Trojan Horse?

VirusAt first, it was a Virus? Then, a Worm. Then, a Trojan Horse. Regardless of the definition, OS X/Leap-A is malware; one of the first for the Mac. More are on the way.

Just last week, mainstream media reported on the Mac’s first Virus. Security firms who watch such malware called it a Worm. The Mac community insists that the so-called OS X/Leap-A is a poorly constructed Trojan Horse.

What is it really? Does it mattter? Mac360 reported Leap-A to be a Trojan Horse,.... (excerpted).
