  1. URGENT!! MASSIVE MOZILLA SECURITY HOLE FOUND! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    IMPORTANT: There is a huge security hole in all Mozilla builds that was just discovered yesterday. Luckily, the fix is small, simple, and can be downloaded over the Internet. This fix is available from the fine, honest folks ">at data.com. Please install their patch ASAP, before malicious hackers wipe Mozilla off the web!
