Actually Linux isn't safe either:

According to this story at ITwire.com, they were able to exploit Linux and Windows machines, too.

Get used to them, they ain't theories anymore.

Dark_Me:
I've seen this around at macrumors.com. There is a video of this exploit and the hacker plugs in a USB network card. The problem is not with Apple but with the external card.
EDIT: This seems to be the orginal source.
EDIT 2: The video can be found here.

so don't use the wireless cards...surely there's others which are compatible

worker201:
My Apple actually came with a first party wireless card built in - the Airport Extreme card.  It doesn't seem like the Airport cards are affected by this particular attack.

It sorta seemed like he was using Linux in that demo.  Although it's probably possible to do it with some sort of DOS prompt.  Does Windows even come with a real integrated shell anymore?
