Mac Antivirus developer Intego might have stumbled across an OS X specific virus being offered for auction that targets a previously unknown ZIP archive vulnerability. From Intego's posting, it appears that an enterprising auctioneer seems determined to make sure that his name is one that is not forgotten when it comes to Apple security, claiming that his exploit is a poisoned ZIP archive that will "KO the system and Hard Drive" when unarchived.

I will concede it is possible, but, as with Windows social engineering would most likely required. Even when I used to run Windows I was never infected with a virus. In most cases it requires that the user do something stupid.
