This can happen on any computer platform, not macs only. This has been known for years. No program was released to spur this. It was a compnay's attempt to stir up business. No program can be installed in Mac OS X without a password being entered. If you enter a password to play an mp3 or jpg, then you deserve the havoc the program wreaks.
To do this on any platform one simply has to retitle their program or virus with an extension like .mp3 then change the icon and people will think its that type of file.
