Google and Amazon have fled to safe havens against the new threat of large web: Shellshock, a bug in the software that runs on the goal ‘of the server world and on various Apple devices. The flaw allows outsiders to take control of servers and computers on your network.

‘Trauma of the soldiers’
Shellshock Dubbed as the trauma reported by soldiers after the First World War, the flaw was discovered by researchers from Red Hat and concerns ‘Bash’, textual command interface used by Linux and OS X from Apple.
Worse than Heartbleed To be threatened

A difference of Heartbleed, identified a bug in the spring that had driven the 40% of Americans to change their password, in this case consumers can not do much to protect themselves.
Server safe
If Google and Amazon promptly intervened to secure their servers, Apple said it will release an update shortly.
