Apparently [600,000 Macs are infected with a Trojan horse](https://www.macworld.com/article/1166227/analyst%5F600%5F000%5Fmacs%5Finfected%5Fwith%5Ftrojan%5Fhorse.html?ref=chrisenns.com) that got they would've gotten by visiting a bogus website.

I'm sure a lot of readers of chrisenns.com were frequent visitors of Gangstasparadise, so if you're feeling nerdy and you can check if your Mac is infected by [following these steps](https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader%5Fosx%5Fflashback%5Fi.shtml?ref=chrisenns.com).
