I read the article twice and got:
1. it creeps in disguised as math-related files,
2. there’s versions for Linux, Microsoft and Apple,
3. Chrome-based browsers are a primary target,
4. the writer told us jack squat on how to deal with it.
But 20 years after leaving I.T. work I’m not up as I’d like to be. Any suggestions other than “don’t use the internet”?
