As one might expect, the GM Seed of Lion looks like it is making the rounds in the Torrent sites. This is interesting this time around because Apple is distributing the install via the App Store (for a very reasonable $30) which has tracking codes embedded in the download.

In addition, hybrid malware may also combine a virus’s ability to alter program code with a worm’s ability to hide in live memory. Moreover, it also has the ability to propagate without any action on the part of a user. In his book “Malware: Fighting Malicious Code,” Ed Skoudis wrote that most modern viruses fall into the hybrid category because, in addition to infecting files like a virus, they used the worm’s propagation technique to disseminate themselves throughout the network....
