Interesting...it works. I clicked on the (safe) Proof of Concept URL and sure enought it opened my Hel App, then Terminal app and started listing all the contents of my drive. Deleting stiff is another issue...but in conept, it could work. Hackers are trying. Check out this URL if you are interested:

is apple doing anything about this? this can be a huge problem for schools if something starts spreading. mac users are rather naive when it comes to security.

Its a good point.. the more people who change to Mac's the more the script kiddies start targeting macs...
but becuase its a unix system.. i don't think there is much concern...
I think apple dropped a bollock on this one.. thats all...
