This title is a play on words, meaning “leave Mac owners short change”. That is, not having as many coins as they assumed they had. Usually you are short change because you had a little less money with you than you thought, but with malware involved they mean theft.
It’s difficult. I didn’t understand the headline until reading the summary.

I think it means that you lose “change” as in money.

Sorry, your explanation didn’t help me a lot.

“change” is the money you receive back when you pay with big denomination bills at a store, when you are “short-changed” means you don’t have much money.

Or maybe it means it’s going to leave you changed but only for a short time.

true, but it is a money scam so I guess it makes more sense right?

I see where you going with this. It leaves you short on cash and changed as a person.
