I agree. My first reaction when I read the headline was, I thought Apple had put it there, which I found disturbing seeing as how Apple has publicly spoken out against backdoors. I think a better title would be something like "Sophisticated OS X Backdooring Malware Discovered". That would make it clear that the backdoor is not present in the binaries shipped by Apple.
