"TURNING OFF JAVASCRIPT"

It's not necessary to turn off Javascript in your browser.

This "attack" is nothing more than running a desktop type app on your computer. It doesn't involve the browser at all.

So, DON'T PANIC! :-)

Also, don't execute (click on) any email attachments. That's how this is distributed, not via website.

(BTW, even though this is billed as "cross platform", any individual instance of it will be for a specific platform like Windows or Mac. That's because there's a bundled runtime that uses native code.)
