Who's Behind the Mac OS X Trojan?

There's a new (first?) trojan horse for Mac OS X. Just after they released Leopard, and when their market share is climbing... Could Microsoft be behind this trojan?

Microsoft doesn't write trojans, get real. Writing and spreading malware is criminal and Microsoft would never do such thing.

I am big. It's the pictures that got small!

I don't think whoever made this Trojan was targeting Mac OS X 10.5 aka Leopard. If you'd read this article carefully you'd see that they run a series of porn sites which try to physh some more information from the user, or at least try to lure them into other porn sites. Microsoft can be blamed with unfaire competition tactics, but writing a Trojan specificly for the Macs is too low even for them,
