Agreed, the article clearly says infection was through Javascript
These statistics are interesting:

"Seventy-eight percent of the infected Windows XP computers are running Internet Explorer, 15 percent are using Firefox, three percent are using Opera, and one percent Safari."

15-18% of the XP machines may be using Firefox or Opera, but that doesn't mean that the original infection wasn't also via Internet Explorer, of course. After all, it's not as if you can uninstall IE.
