…a new piece of OS X malware has been discovered. Intego has named this malware the OSX.RSPlug.A Trojan Horse. Note that this malware is not a virus—it can’t self-propagate from one machine to another. It is, however, definitely malicious, and it’s packaged in a well-designed trojan horse wrapper.
Your machine could be infected if you’ve recently gone looking for some, um, less-than-flattering pictures of Britney Spears.

It is in fact gimmicky, but, I think, that’s actually a good thing in Time Machine’s particular and unique case.
