I'm more amazed you think you're so brilliant but you don't understand how Hacker News works. People vote up stuff they find interesting, not stuff they know 100% is the truth so-help-you-god.
People think this is interesting. I voted it up. I have no idea if it's true. I don't think a up-vote has ever been code for "also, this is 100% true"
Well, upvoting means I think it is interesting. You usually dont upvote hoaxes I hope (especially the unfunny one).
This is clearly an hoax in the first form (JS exploit).
At most (if real) it is just an exploit of a specific browser (version) on a specific OS. If you go on «hacker» news, I am very surprised you have no IT culture. I suggest you should read http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/ if you want untrustworthy sensational news, and consider not upvoting when you are clueless on a topic.
Less noise, more signal is a very old hacker motto. You obviously don't get it.

Sorry I'm so much more gullible than you.
