The Register is not perfect either.
Currently (8-13-2010) they have a statement at the bottom of the
article stating the following:
This article was updated to remove erroneous information concerning
Mac OS X. The OS is not vulnerable to the crimeware kit.

OMG! OMG! Teh Intarwebs are INFESTED!!! "I suggest we all stop using
the Internet to be safe. An overreaction? Yes, obviously, but this
actually sounds like a nasty bit of malware."
Umm, OK, uuber-dude, but then how will we read your post to know if it's
safe to go back online again?
By the way, Scott, the article is not only stupid FUD, it's dead wrong.
It Ain't Only Windows. Yup, that is correct. From The Register (who is
not nearly as bad at FUD): "The vast majority were Windows boxes, but
4,000 Mac machines were also hit."
Yes, you read that right. 4,000 MAC MACHINES. Guess which OS, Scott???
