Is it true there's NO sec. upd. vs. Shellshock virus for SL?

Sorry, but if this is true then I have little time to waste for either getting back offline or (apparently) upgrading as noted below. I've intentionally been staying offline for several weeks - waiting for a security update from Apple.

Today, I spoke over the phone to an employee at an Apple Store. He said that there is a sec. upd. for the new malware/virus which reportedly can penetrate Mac OSX, but that it's only good for Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks. Therefore, I must assume that Apple is forcing SL users to either upgrade or swim in the 'shark infested internet of things'.

So the bottom line is (apparently) that Mac is leaving it's Snow Leopard users unsupported on this? If this is true, then it's an EPIC FAIL for a good # of users who still use SL.

My best wishes to all of the other faithful Snow Leopard users who are left to fend for themselves.

Thanks in Advance

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out it the rain

I don't think that I can take it

Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh noooooooo
