Writing from memory, so this here isn't 100% accurate. yes, there are
two threats, one of which is in the wild; and an article was published
in The Guardian, Technology Section - www.theguardian.com - about it.
macs were targeted in this instance, because of a loophole that has
been discovered in Yosemite. it affects administrative use, so the
advice was to not use admin privileges on a daily basis, but to work as
an ordinary user of your computer. I think it's called FireLurker.

Subject: RE: New Malware Can Infect IPhones via Mac Computers
Nothing, until I hear and read more about this which substantiates that
this is more than link bate I am not too worried about it. I wonder why
they say it only gets onto iOS devices via Mac computers and not via
PC's. Considering that PC's are supposed to be more vulnerable to
viruses and malware and also that while Mac computers are growing more
than PC's, there are still a lot more PC users out there than there are
Mac users and normally hackers target the larger group.
