Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

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."

    Yeah, the bug was opened in 2002. Not quite "quickly fixed".

    Keep in mind that the switch is very much a physiological thing.

    Um, it's not exactly puberty. Do you mean it's psychological?
