Zeus Trojan steals $1 million from U.K. bank accounts

A fairly quick read...I had been reading about the Zeus trojan and how it's hitting PCs.
I just saw this article today on a colleagues FB page....
Here's the part that's alarming...you MAC users that keep thinking you're immune...

"While more than 280,000 compromised computers were running some variant of Windows, there were about 3,000 Macs running the exploit kit that were part of the botnet, along with about 300 PlayStations and seven machines running Nintendo Wii, the report found. "

3000 MACs in the botnet

And how many people here think it's safe to stick your gaming console in the DMZ of your router? Just because it's not a Windows OS.

3000 MAC's!! dang, thats like half of the total amount of MAC users right?
 
link to story?

we have actually had a few macs in with little spyware type things
 
I wonder if they were Macs running Parallels or legitimately infected Macs?
 
I would like to know more about the Macs, PS3s and Wiis that were infected. The numbers and the rest of the article make me think they were running versions of Windows, but I don't know if that's possible on PS3s or Wiis. But the article doesn't go into any detail about them.
