The first big OS X malware attack arrives via Java.
That's a pretty big deal. I'll check the aging machines when I get home, but Firefox and NoScript and Flashblock and Adblock Plus is a pretty good combo. News I've seen is unclear, but the bad bug seems to like Safari: don't use that, silly person.
SMUG UPDATE:
Clean, thank you.

...good thing we don't use our Mac OS X server for anything meaningful
clean here too.
It is unpossible that the danger is overblown, is it not?
I don't think it's overblown if it's coming from Gruber.
Exciting! I've always been jealous of the fun malware times that Windows users get to enjoy.
