as far as I know, there aren't any such exploits known right now. It is likely much harder to write a real virus (rather than a trojan) for MacOS than Windows as you'll need to find a privilege escalation exploit (need I say, without local access) in one of the standard services first, all of which tend to be pretty robust and having a core that comes from the open source and Unix worlds. There's been a few trojans (such as the one mentioned in TFA), but nothing that qualifies as a virus yet as far as I know. Perhaps, but I am still waiting to see a real "virus" that hits MacOS. Maybe the Mac has starting to reach that point where virus writers and security aficionados have enough a base to target their efforts?
