When Bunnies Go Bad
Software used in Energiser battery chargers is found to have a trojan attached to it. When interviewed, the Energiser Bunny swore he had no idea how the trojan got into the software - which had been posted for web download as long ago as 2007.
I’ve always had my suspicions about that Bunny.
But don’t worry if you downloaded the Mac version of the software, only the Windows one was infected. Apparently Apples and Bunnies don’t mix.
