“Malware is so rare on the Mac that Apple set up an entire web page to deal with the one trojan currently known to be impacting Mac users.”
I read that and I thought Apple had set up a top-level page. I then saw it is an article in Apple’s knowledge base.
As far as I know, this is the same thing Microsoft does for distinguished malware: articles in the knowlegde base. E.g., here is an old one for Blaster:
Blaster wasn't a trojan; it was a worm that actively compromised Windows machines, took out entire huge enterprises (including major military networks), hit the front page of CNN, and (IIRC) prompted a Congressional inquiry about regulating software security.
