According to KTWDallas, a poster on Yahoo, this is how this exploit has to work...
If a stranger shows up in your house with a laptop enabled with bluetooth and stands within 30 feet of your Panther/Tiger machine -- the machine on which you've been ignoring those "a new patch is available" messages for the past 2 years or so -- then this stranger tells you to accept his data transmission (and you do), then you'll have an infected machine... which apparently will make you pick up your computer and go find another Mac user and stand within 30 feet of them...
...sounds like a lot of work to transmit a virus.
Too much work...

I just didn't want you to be talking to yourself anymore :)
They are just dying to say I told you so, but until they can do better than this no one is going to care.
