CNN runs the teaser 'Apple Flaw - This is scary' and that leads to the CNN Money article with the headline, "Mac attack! Nasty bug lets hackers into Apple computers."
Fourteen words and not one of them is true ... impressive.
1) There is no attack as the flaw was discovered by researchers and has never been exploited for anything
2) Scary is ludicrous as there is no reason
3) The bug is said to let hackers into Mac computers. That's only true if they have the administrator password for your computer. If you post that on street poles then you're at risk, otherwise this report is complete crap.
But at least the article is accompanied by a video about the history of Mac circuit boards which has nothing whatever to do with the premise of the article.
