Be aware of this new malware Windows, Mac and Linux

New Java malware attacks Apple's OS X along with Windows, Linux

Web-based malware determines your OS, then strikes

Pay attention and be on the alert for this new java based malware which can infiltrate various Operating systems if you allow it. It requires you to click on a pop up which will actually then allow the malware on to your pc and then it checks for which OS you are using and it utilizes the proper flavor for that OS.

If you are alert and do not click things willy nilly you will be ok.

In linux of course we do not run as admin or root so it would take deliberate action on the users part for this thing to gain access.

This is definitely one to watch for even for those of you on Macs.
