The first virus to target Apple’s Mac OS X operating system has been discovered in the wild, according to security experts.

The virus, called Leap-A, was discovered by UK antivirus company Sophos and spreads via the iChat instant messaging system. It forwards itself as a file called latestpics.tgz to contacts on the infected users’ buddy list.
