The nasty OS X trojan from last week has resurfaced, and this time hits software pirates where it hurts the most: in Photoshop.

The trojan has been retooled a bit too, presumably to foil the fixes that were issued after the initial iLife scare. I’m sure a patched fix will come out soon enough, but the best tactic is to avoid this kind of thing altogether by, oh, I don’t know, not giving pirated software root access whenever it asks for it.
