Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox

An anonymous reader writes "The open-source Firefox Web browser is critically flawed in the way it handles JavaScript, two hackers said Saturday afternoon. An attacker could commandeer a computer running the browser simply by crafting a Web page that contains some malicious JavaScript code, Mischa Spiegelmock and Andrew Wbeelsoi said in a presentation at the ToorCon hacker conference here."

    If you had to pick between having a last name of "Spiegelmock" or "Wbeelsoi", which one would you go with? I'd have to pick Wbeelsoi, because it would be funny to watch most native English speakers trip over that "W+b" letter combination.
