It's bizarre to claim image viruses exist today when you link to a nearly 20 year old article about a buggy OS.

If it happened in the worlds most used client OS 20 years ago, it's clearly not impossible it can happen again. Not that much has happened with computers since then.

I remember being like you, believing no virus could come from an image or other data. I have been proven wrong enough times since then. We keep assuming things as programmers and sometimes we get it wrong and then there is a new wulnerability.
