Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability
Constantine the Less writes "Mozilla has released Firefox 3.0.8 to fix a pair of code execution holes that put users of the browser at risk of drive-by download attacks. It includes a fix for one of the flaws exploited during this year's CanSecWest Pwn2Own hacker contest. The update also fixes a separate zero-day flaw disclosed earlier this week on a public exploit site. Both issues are rated 'critical,' Mozilla's highest severity rating."
Yeah, but internet browsing just doesn't feel as exciting without the risk. Back to unpatched XP with IE6 for me...

You frantically try to close the security holes by going to the Windows Update website, but all you get are ads for penis enlargement and free porn. As your PC slows to a crawl, the excitement fades...

For the love of Gods folks, cite your fracking references. So say we all!
Bah. My dodgy dial-up connection is so painfully slow that I find it amusing to install trojans and watch "hackers" try and control my computer.
I know what it makes me sound like, otherwise I wouldn't have said it.
