According to an article appearing now in the BBC web pages: "Clipboards hijacked in web attack" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7567889.stm) both Windows and Mac versions are affected.

At least it appears to be just a temp attack, the clipboard resides in memory and is wiped on a reboot.

No one has any right to force data on you and command you to believe it or else.
If it is not true for you, it isn't true.
