Subpab Mac OS X trojan discovered, preys on the same Java vulnerability as Flashback

Heads up Mac OS X users, it looks like yet another trojan has been discovered. Dubbed the Subpab by security company, Sophos, the trojan has been described as a "basic backdoor trojan horse" that connects to a control server using HTTP. When it does, it has been reported that hackers will then be able to send instructions to the trojan to grab screenshots, execute commands remotely and upload and download files without the user's permission.
