So it's not a virus.

But you're missing the point! Macs are no longer immune! (Oh, happy day!) ;^>

Your wrong. The program had to prompt the user to enter his password. I.E. the user has to allow the installation off the program. No computer in existence is 'immune' to a user installing something deliberately. Macs never were immune to that so their 'immunity' has not changed.

Immune? Did you read what the users had to do to get this thing running on their machine? ANYONE can write a program that ASKS to be installed with admin privilege that then does nefarious things.

Surf a website and have a OS X system compromised, then come talk to me.

Macs have never been immune, they simply have infinitly fewer viri and infinitly fewer holes for viri to take advantage of.
