Amazing article.

Completely skips over how it's propagated, what OS versions are susceptible, has Apple already patched this, if not are they aware of it and when can a fix be expected.

I'm not a fan of Apple products but, I really admire their patching ability's.

Wow, nearly fake news. Ditto what MRMEZ said. Windows is a cesspool of infectious computing. MACs are much safer out of the box. My daughter lasted through over 4 yrs of college recently without any antivirus. I switched to MAC 2 yrs ago, and have NEVER had any virus/malware problem on all 3 of my MACs... and that's without any antivirus or anything else to protect me.
