Petya attack

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richmond,

Probably not, because the offending file(s) need(s) to be installed in 
the Windows directory to be effective. A Mac doesn't have a Windows 
directory. Any guest OS's running in a virtual machine however may be 
affected.

I could imagine that other Office packages running on Windows machines 
may be vulnerable.

Kind regards,

Mark Schonewille
