Mac is not immune, major vuln takes over your device

I recently read this article titled Apple users warned: Clicking this attachment will take over your macOS which was sent to our Security Box Email list.

I believe Mac has not ever seen anything like this in its life, but if this is any indication, this might be the beginning.

The article talks about a file called an inetloc file. It sounds to me like it is similar to the .lnk file extension for windows, where you can put a link to something.

I think this article should be read, especially if you use a mac. If you’ve seen inetloc files, what are they and how do they work?
