Firefox exploit targets zero day vulns
John Leyden, The Register 2005-05-09

Security researchers have discovered two unpatched vulnerabilities in Firefox, the popular alternative web browser. The security bugs affect even the latest version of Firefox (version 1.0.3) and create a means for attackers to seize control of vulnerable systems using cross-site scripting attacks.

I agree. The only reason that IE seems to be so very vulnerable is because it is the largest target on the board. As FireFox becomes more popular we will see it become just as vulnerable in proportion to how many users it has.

I like FireFox. I like to see alternatives that are well supported and free. I do find it rather annoying when I see people flaunting the security of a lesser known software package just because it doesn?t have the amount of users that a Microsoft package does.

It is so easy to use Microsoft as the whipping boy isn?t it? Especially when all you need to do in order to sound smart is to bash it like everyone else.
