As an OSX user, it is fairly amusing when some sketchy ad auto-downloads some "setup.exe" file.



As a Windows user, it's amusing when shady websites try to emulate macOS system dialogs, or Android ones.


But what if you do the same on Linux, with Wine installed? are you vulnerable the same way Windows users are ? I mean: Wine lets you just double-click exe file to run it.


No idea, however I doubt any Linux user with Wine installed would double click some random setup.exe that was auto downloaded.


You are dangerously underestimating stupid...
