The so-called First Mac Virus™ turned out to be a poorly engineered trojan horse not capable enough to do more than irritate; like dental floss after chewing on a pulled pork bar-b-que sandwich.

It’s a new week, a new day, and now another new exploit for your Mac. This time it’s in the Safari browser and it’s serious. Worse, the same exploit could be used in Mac OS X’s Mail.

An email address is required only if you want to be notified of new comments by other posters, and is always shielded from email spam harvesters (but don't use a Gmail or Yahoo! or Hotmail or any free email service address-- too much spam).
Keep your comment on topic, relevant, worthy, and funny. Or, pick any three. We moderate the comments before posting so SPAM links will be deleted (Spammers-- you're a blight on society, not to mention your body odor, so don't waste your time or our time).
