Hahaha, someone at Apple probably flashed the firmware using a windows PC, and then the virus got on there.

It's a windows virus only because... it's a windows executable? Yeah, that's probably it.
 
Maybe because no respectable hacker would bother making a virus for linux(like biting his own ass, that) or for mac's (because every government group uses them, and the charges would probobly be 25-life). :lol:

Macs are just as unsusceptible to viruses as Linux PCs.

Lies. If a mac vulnerability is found, you have to depend on the Apple devs to fix it. If a linux vulnerabilty is found, the community has a patch within hours.
