Thanks for the ping, but I posted the article. In any case, this attack only works on Windows computers being a variant of the Petya ransomware, which only runs on Windows computers.
It is also a Trojan horse attack, in that it requires the complicity of the user to download and install a spurious Adobe Flash update to get infected. Apple Macs block the downloading, installation, and first run of any of that family of trojans.
