Anybody come across this 'organisation': http://www.us-cert.gov?

They send me regular e-mail warnings of Mac vulnerabilities. No idea why I am on their mailing list.

Here are the latest:

I didn't even know that they existed.. Sounds like the government's answer to tech support.

Weird. Thankfully, all those articles seem to point to vulnerabilities that were fixed by the latest Security Update.

Hm. Seems like their mailing-lists don't allow to just subscribe to Mac-issues. I'd have subscribed, if that'd have been an option. Maybe *I* should start such a service...
