The good news, if you're a Windows user at least, is that Microsoft's OS blocks 0.0.0.0 at a system level.

If one OS blocks it, it's pretty hard to NOT blame the OS...

It does seem like a browser exploit though.

“It does seem like a browser exploit though. “

That is how I see it. This claims it utilizes the browsers. So this means there are discrepancies in the browser work they did for one OS version compared to the work they did for the other OS versions of that browser. I don’t think it so much that Windows is more resistant. I think it is more like they left holes in the browser for the others that they happened to not leave open for windows.

And that would stand to reason considering history. They have always been late to the party or reluctant to accommodate alternative operating systems. Everything other than windows is a red headed step child. lol
