Go sell crazy someplace else...

If you download something off the Internet and run it,
anything, on your computer it has access! It's not a flaw in
the OS it's just the way it is!

Here's a better story...AppeScript can be used to exploit
user machines! Go into AppleScript Studio and create a
fake looking installer UI for some cool free game or
something where the attacker asks the user for their
admin password as if to install the application. BUT instead
it sends the password to a central server that returns with
a payload to install at the admin level and turns the
machine into a zombie!

Wait....I have more!
