    It does include this:

    quietly spread across a victim’s network, including to Linux machines.

    But that’s a completely ridiculous lack of detail of any actual vulnerability. Smells like bullshit.
    The quote from OP is from a different article.

      I wasn’t intentionally trying to imply that it came from the article. That’s why I posted the naked link. I wasn’t really thinking about the Linux component when I posted the article.

        That’s why I posted the naked link.

        Which is perfectly fine and dandy. I think some people just had a knee jerk reaction, based on a misunderstanding of context.
