Firefox Vietnamese Language Pack Infected With Trojan

An anonymous reader writes "Wired.com is reporting that the Firefox browser has been unknowingly distributing a trojan with the Firefox Vietnamese language pack. Over 16,000 downloads of the pack occurred since being infected. This highlights a risk on relying on user-submitted Firefox extensions, or a lack of peer-review of the extensions, many of which receive frequent upgrades."

    And your point would be... what? It seems to me that you just like hearing yourself talk because you are not making a particular case for free software nor commercial software. All you said is both can be infected with malware.

    Bunch of communist in Viet-Nam anyway. The ones in this country (USA) need to learn English anyway, as anyone who lives in the USA. Learn English, speak English, or get the hell out!

    OSS is flawed by nature, the lack of responsibility and financial incentive in addition to a vendors reputation and survival is why OSS will ultimnately die on the vine as scum sucking dickwads with nothing better to do will lure the masses into downloading their malware infected pack.

          This is because OSS, being a communal effort and not being the flagship product of a profit driven private sector organization will always be vulnerable to this and its just getting started.

        But this is not surprise to me, it was a matter of time and the idea of OSS was utopian to a fault.
