Q: thunderstrike-2 once infected always infected?
I understand that the chances of getting thunderstrike2 is slim, and that if you have El Capitan you're immune from catching it.
My question is... If you got thunder strike 2 before upgrading to El Captian, i.e. from running Mavericks, will you still carry the bug in your SPI after the upgrade, if not, how does this work?
MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), Security

In my read of that article, they are talking about a second exploit for root privileges called DYLD, which has since been patched. This is unrelated to the first exploit the article was talking about, Thunderstrike 2. Two different situations in one article. at least this is my read.
