Sophos has announced the discovery of a new multiplatform worm that attempts to download and display an indecent JPEG image of a man wearing a bunny suit performing a sexual act in woodland.

Badbunny-A is a macro worm for open source office suite OpenOffice/StarBasic, that drops scripts in several other languages. It first infects computer users when they open an OpenOffice Draw file called badbunny.odg.

A macro within the file performs different functions depending on whether the user is running Windows, MacOS or Linux - these can include executing other self-replicating JavaScript and Perl viruses.

The worm also downloads and displays an illicit image of a scantily clad woman with a man dressed as a rabbit, irrespective of the operating system being used.
