Nonsense! Macs are inherently secure by design and software needs user permission to run before it can execute. Its much ado about nothing.

Don’t knock complicity of the user as a method of trading viruses. Iloveyou needed the user to double click on it and hit 10% of the computers on the net. People are always the biggest security hole.

So is this actually in the wild infecting people, or is this just FUD to push product?

From what I have been able to find, it is a vulnerability being discussed primarily on a couple of hacker sites, the "exploits" are suggested means of deployment being bantered back and forth between the hackers and not existing threats. Some hackers have assembled Applescripts that if run MIGHT do something.
