I thought this was interesting, so I'll share this with you guys. The security exploit on Safari can affect Windows machines using Firefox with Quicktime installed. Interesting. Another Quicktime hole that needs patching. Source.

It will be interesting to hear/read the howl of triumph from the slavering gang of Apple naysayers who'll see this a sign of the Mac-apocalypse.

Be that as it may, this exploit requires a bit of social engineering to pull off, so some of the real patching to do will be to user browsing habits and not just to the browser...
