Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware

An anonymous reader writes "Last week's well- publicised (and quickly fixed) security hole in Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird reminded the Slashdot faithful that Mozilla is not invincible and that it is now big enough for malware (virus and spyware) authors to target. MozillaZine has a short article on this topic, looking at the rise in attacks aimed at Mozilla and how the developers are responding."

Sorry to be an ass, but please cut the use of M$. It just makes you look like you're 15 years old. I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy (haven't used windows on my machines for more than four years) but really, you just lose credibility when you write "M$", Micro$oft, Micro$hit, Winblowz, etc...

Do the F/OSS movement a favor and represent us better to the world, please.

What passes for insightful around here would best be wiped out of one's crevice with a bit of toilet tissue. I don't think that slapping a dollar sign in there in any way compromises the integrity of this website - it hasn't got any.

If you want to ignore me because I pop a "M$" into my comment, more power to ya. But why all the pissing and moaning about it? If you don't use it, it can't reflect poorly on you, and anyone who considers this a bastion of journalistic purity needs to piss off and die already.
