The last Trojan hose, and or anything virus related for that matter, was 3 years ago. A email was circulated around that contained a Apple script. The email said "Click here for your favorite Simpson's episode." Needless to say quite a few people did, and it erased their hard drives. This technique wouldn't work now because Mail.app, and probably all modern mail client. Will not let you execute code from within the mail client. This current Trojan horse is benine and is more a proof of concept then anything.

(http://www.intego.com/news/pr40.html) Anyone aware of previous Trojan horses for OS X?
