wait my MAC isn't completely safe without antivirus and a good firewall??? haha

06yf450ridr, a Mac had nothing to do with it, nor did antivirus or firewall software. Nice try troll.

The exploit used had nothing to do with a firewall or antivirus program. It was an exploit in the forum software running on their site, AV nor FW would be able to prevent this exploit from happening.
