Quick security blurbs

If you hear about "Apple suddenly says to use antivirus", it's not true. Well, the "suddenly" part, anyway. Seems they've been (quietly) saying this for about a year and a half, and folks are only now getting hip to the message.

If you hear about US Warzone computers under attack, it is true. I'll post a bit later on this, but it is basically an epic failure of "Red/Black" separation (keeping classified stuff on one network and unclassified stuff on the other). It's not a surprise, and the implication for civilian mission critical computers are really, really bad.
