  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?

  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.
