Why be Scared of a Mac OS X IPv6 Network Exploit?

Talk about sensationalism... Information Week's title reads: Apple's Mac OS X Vulnerable To Networking Exploit. If you read further, you'll find: a proof-of-concept exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the way the Apple implements IPv6 support. IPv6? Very very few organizations have deployed IPv6. And, I'll guess most of those few do not use many Macs. On the other hand, the article's author did get me to read the article. So, I guess he did a good job with that scare title. :-)
