No troll intended here, Sword, but do you know why they would have used a Mac to test the POC? Says in the article the exploit was tested on a Mac. Just curious if Apple’s platform is “better” for this test vs. Windows or Linux. I suspect it is because a lot of programmers use Macs for development because you can run every operating system simultaneously on a fast Mac. . . Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, essentially everything you are going to develop for.
