So you mean all the emails I receive about my eBay password has been changed, eBay order has been canceled, paypal payment canceled... those with link that goes to a weird website, which then I login using my username and password, but it then goes to some advertising website... all those were FAKE? Oh no! Should I then not believe what I see on the internet? What would my life be??!?! Oh no...

I really wonder how people keep getting taken in by the same scams over and over again.

Because aware people are only 1-5% on the internet. And even some of the people who come to this kind of sites still slip if they're not cautious.

I've been cleaning this mess up for weeks, the number of stupid people that just have to open every attachment is astounding!

@jhansonxi

actually, windows is more secure than mac os x...the only reason windows gets more malware is because 1: its the most popular OS worldwide and hackers want to target a large number of "victims" and 2: so many people are just so dumb...a lot of those people run to the "protection" of mac os x when in reality, mac os x itself isn't protecting them, it's the fact that even hackers believe mac os x is a waste of time that protects them...

while your at it, just give them your bank account info, address and everything else. Whoever does give there information is a total noob

This is platform non-specific actually and your "fight" is old and pointless. Let's examine 2 possibilities:
1. jhansonxi aimed at windows because he is a Mac fanboi. If true he is a fool that doesn't understand how computers work.
2. He said that to throw sarcasm at the ever popular mac fanboi vs. windows war as this exploit is not platform unique. In that case good joke and well done.

In neither case do you need to incite the war. Let #1s be fools and enjoy the #2s. After all the Pwn2own contest objectively proves security if anything in this day and age can.

@alkybird and emlee0203:
For the record I use mostly Linux. I'm also a Windows admin and I own a Mac Mini (and several older models). McAfee's report doesn't indicate which OS is affected by this malware. Since the only reason I don't think McAfee's software is the worst in the industry is because Symantec already has that honor, I have to assume this is just more fear-mongering marketing FUD.

[citation][nom]Rab1d-BDGR[/nom]You guys may scoff at these emails, but you should take some of them seriously.The other day this Nigerian princess sent me an email because she needed my help to get her money out of Africa. All I had to do was send her my bank details, credit card number and a cheque for $200. She is going to move $100 million into my account and then back into a Swiss account for safe keeping... But guess what? I GET TO KEEP 10% - Yeah that's right, a cool ten million is coming my way and I hardly had to lift a finger!You suckers are going to be laughing on the other side of your faces when my money comes in!;-)[/citation]
