Died at the age of 71 from heart failure.

At least two Mac-focused security firms warned late this week of a Trojan horse that takes advantage of flaws in remote management software in Mac OS X to run code on the affected computer.

It can also take pictures with the iSight camera and screenshots and turn on file sharing, security firm SecureMac said. Intego, the other firm to highlight the issue, said the Trojan could be used to run arbitrary cod…
