Mac users should remember that the technique works only when invoked by an application already installed on their systems. There is no evidence the technique can be carried out through drive-by exploits or attacks that don't require social engineering and end-user interaction.

Seems like a company trying to get a little publicity for itself by overplaying the danger of the problem. It is a shame major websites like Engadget are happy to play along for the clicks.
