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.

Same here. Malicious backdoor or rootkit backdoor would have been more appropriate
