Any computer with Origin installed on it is vulnerable, regardless of whether the program is actively running or what operating system is used. To remedy the issue without uninstalling Origin, the firm suggests disabling the origin:// URI handler in all web browsers that support the feature. It also suggested using a third-party tool to disable the URI globally, but that would also prevent desktop shortcuts to Origin games from working properly.EA has put Origin's player base at 40 million registered users worldwide. According to the BBC, there is no evidence this security hole has yet been exploited maliciously.
(Oh yah?)
