Mac users download a similar program, which also points them to a malicious DNS server, a McAfee spokesman said.

Kawasaki didn't respond to messages left by the IDG News Service asking him about the incident, but he did leave a Twitter message late Tuesday afternoon, "Don't know how that Leighton Meester sex tape tweet got into my stream here. Sorry all. Sad thing is that I don't even know who she is!" he wrote. Although Kawasaki admitted he hadn't posted the link, he also did not remove it from his Twitter page.
