Quoted from apLundell:

If it really is an infected Word file, any machine with Word installed may be vulnerable. Doesn't have to be Windows.

That's not entirely true. This is a likely variant of a word macro virus. They get you to hit a link with a word document. The document comes up, and then runs the macro (if macros are not enabled, it will try to fool you into enabling it). Once the macro is running, it then jumps externally to download an executable file off a remote server (and then execute it). There are multiple variants of this exploit, but a common one was installing ransom ware. Long story short, due to the way it works; it would only infect a windows machine. MAC users would not be impacted (mac would not let word start the executable, nor would the executable run on mac).

For what it's worth. I have not clicked the link to confirm the malware variant, so I'm going by others in this post that it linked to a word file.

Quoted from capguntrooper:

Wrong. AGAIN, see original post. Confirmed Stern was hacked. If it was an employee of Stern or Stern Servers makes no difference. Your argument is akin to calling a palm a hand or a side arm a pistol. The threat is there still and this thread serves as a PSA

Bingo....

Obviously Stern is lacking Cyber-Security measures to prevent these problems. Not a dig on Stern, many small companies fail to implement adequate protection and policies.
