ATTN Firefox Users!
Mozilla flaws could allow attacks, data access
Multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to install malicious code or steal personal data have been discovered in the Mozilla Suite and the Firefox open-source browser. Details of the nine flaws were published on Mozilla's security Web site over the weekend. Ian Latter, senior security consultant at Internet security specialist Pure Hacking, said most of the vulnerabilities are based on the way the applications handle JavaScript. Read the full story HERE. |

Isn't this pretty old? Pretty sure the current version of Firefox has fixed these bugs...

I seem to recall that many here was harping that they were secure. Fact is it's more secure than IE because of the lack of users and less stuff being written and explored about it.
In time, firefox and Mozilla users alike will be bitching about it like IE . Personally, why bitch about any of them, the hackers and evil people will continue to do shit to any browser out there once they get the chance.

Microsoft probably has its IT boys working round the clock to come up with viruses for Firefox.

It is opensource, so people already know the way in and out. There is no "hacking". Thus, patches are fixed in no time. I think it was...a week?...after 1.0.2 was released that 1.0.3 came out replacing those bugs etc.
IE takes months to fix bugs. |
