Symantec: Hackers Turn Attention to Mozilla Browsers
PCWorld.com - Symantec: Hackers Turn Attention to Mozilla Browsers
One of the main promotional points for Firefox was its greater security as opposed to that of Internet Explorer. That greater security is now being questioned as the number of vulnerabilities of Firefox and its companion browser Mozilla were greater than the number of vulnerabilities affecting Explorer. IE, though, still had a higher proportion of severe vulnerabilities and also took longer to fix them.
I will be curious to see how this ratio compares as Firefox improves and when IE 7 is released at some point in the future.
