Flashback Still Plagues Macs
By Gregg Keizer, Computerworld    Apr 22, 2012 7:25 am 

Contrary to reports by several security companies, the Flashback botnet is not shrinking, the Russian antivirus firm that first reported the massive infection three weeks ago claims. 

 
Dr. Web, which earlier this month was the first to report the largest-ever successful malware attack against Apple's OS X, said Friday that the pool of Flashback-infected Macs still hovers around the 650,000 mark, and that infections are continuing. 

Also on Friday, Liam O Murchu, director of operations at Symantec's security response center, confirmed that Dr. Web's numbers were correct.
