Just wondering, I can't seem to find any documentation of this, but
does this malware effect PowerPC Macs or Intel only?
So far as I've read, it's targeting Intel-based systems only; what's
unclear is whether the Java exploit being used is present in older
versions of Java or not. If they are, the targeting PPC macs is
relatively simple for the bad guys. If not then PPC macs are ok.
The vulnerability *IS* present in older versions of Java.

By not releasing Java updates for Leopard and older, Apple has
screwed both ppc and x86 users.
