Doesn't work on my G5... I think this was a vulnerability that was found about two years ago and patched.

I also tested my computer on the test the guy who claims to have discovered its site... didn't work there either. I tested it on five other Macs today... none were vulnerable.

Although it doesn't auto-unzip, or auto-execute, it does unzip to a file that has a movie icon called "Secunia.mov". Clicking on the movie icon WILL open the terminal and run a script... Getting info reports that it is a "Terminal document".

Basically, its another Trojan proof of concept.
