The first virus affecting StarOffice was detected today, but so far it isn't being used to infect computers.

Since the virus has not been launched with malicious intent yet, a teenager hacker may have written it, said Roel Schouwenberg, senior research engineer for Kaspersky Lab. The virus uses macros to attack the office suite from Sun Microsystems.

Had to happen one day, no software is safe, some is just more targeted.
