this is a nothing-burger. the same "article" from days ago, rehashing the same bullshit, quoting a totally unknown security researcher firm (that, conveniently, also sells some turd that's gonna rid you of this scourge) with zero details, followed with less than zero fact checking from arse technica, like how did they establish the 1.3 milsky number, the "infection" vector and other similarly "unimportant" shit.

portals like the mentioned arse thing are hungry for content and are willing to publish any old thing that even resembles quality content. keep your eyes open, your wits about you, and question everything.
