The attack works only on Mac versions of Word (attempts to execute on Windows or Pages, Mac-based productivity software similar to Word, failed). It also sidesteps Apple’s Gatekeeper protection which blocks unsigned code from executing; macros will execute since they’re given permission to do so by the user.
 
Not good but good example of karma; too tired from Apple fanboys talking about how they are invincible to malware (not here but people in person say this a lot and it's so untrue).

I would blame MS office for that as this is the exploitable point :) (Sorry apple fan boy here !) - Mac users could use pages instead :p

Anyhow, what is interesting with this sample is that it checks to see if Little snitch is running :)
