MacRumors is reporting a potential first virus of OS X Tiger . Per the Ambrosia Softwares Web Board.

“It’s called “latestpics.tgz” was posted on a Mac rumors web site http://www.macrumors.com/ , claiming to be pictures of “MacOS X Leopard” (an upcoming version of MacOS X, aka “MacOS X 10.5″). It is actually a Trojan (or arguably, a very non-virulent virus). We’ll call it “Oompa-Loompa” (aka “OSX/Oomp-A“) for reasons that will become obvious.”
