The key is that Macs, running Windows, are vulnerable to having the Windows' clipboard taken over! Macs running OS X and browsing with Safari under OS X are not affected. Dammit. I was hoping to rub this in the faces of you Mac users.
Oh well. Someday, someday...

Maybe next time...

Dammit. I was hoping to rub this in the faces of you Mac users. After further research... it's not FUD.
It affects both Macs and Windows—apparently anything that runs FLASH that has a clipboard.
You can start rubbing...
