[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1646980, member: 24160"] Read the entire article - all the modifications it is doing is under Windows. There is no registry in OS X, nor will a .exe program run in OS X. Internet Explorer (MSIE) is also not available for OS X. And it does not attack those browsing with Safari, Firefox nor Chrome. The answer "conceivably both" is accurate because the exploit is a Flash vulnerability. Whether that same exploit could be taken advantage of in OS X - who knows at this point. Keep Flash up to date and you won't have to worry about it at this time. I'm not really even sure that any of the past Flash vulnerabilities have ever actually had an exploit released in the wild that would run under OS X. A vulnerability does not equal there being an exploit taking advantage of that vulnerability. [/QUOTE]
