Added Secunia Research's statement, detailing that they advise all vendors as to vulnerabilities & generally withold vulnerabilities advisories until patched.
Updated Secunia Advisory counts. Last edited by TS | Thomas; 05-09-2006 at 02:03 PM.. |

Added a section covering the authors assertions in Firefox Myths that "Anyone who claims Internet Explorer cannot be secured from Auto-installing Spyware either doesn't know how or is lying... Some even openly admit to being unable to stop something as elementary as Malware infection when using Internet Explorer - hardly reputable sources to dispute anything!"

That exploit demo you just posted is a perfect example of how one click can cause chaos in minutes, even seconds. It's an amazing video.

Changes;
I've updated the vulnerability count for Browsers listed. Interestingly enough 2 new vulnerabilities are now listed for Opera 8.x which are patched in Opera 9; this ties into my point about Secunia not necessarily listing all vulnerabilities as they are discovered (Which they say so themselves), rather waiting for a patch to be available where there's appropriate vendor support. Relatedly, an Opera 9 vulnerability was posted on Securityfocus last week; which similarly is not listed on Secunia's Opera 9 page; http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/18585 "Solution: Currently we are not aware of any vendor-supplied patches for this issue." |

No more Mr Anonymous
Andrew K has blown his cover.
Full name: Andrew Khan. With any luck, he'll be less likely to lie, misquote, libel, troll etc. now his real name is out and his employers/clients stand a chance of recognizing him. |

Personally I found myths more interesting and these two threads most entertaining. Jeez you act like he insulted your mom! Son of FF? Do I believe all of his comcast article, no. Did I follow each of his sources to see if I translated the same as he did, no. I use both ie and FF and was really curious why people thought it was so great. Used to be adamantly netscape but came to realize resistance was futile. And considering mozs track record they might be gone tomorrow.
Having an opinion makes some one a troll? Dang people take a chill pill do you really think some comcast hosted page is the end of the world? Gathering links and info and presenting it with your own spin makes you...just say WOW! And where is his trolling? I thought that trolling was spamming a board with ideas that board does not appreciate. Did I miss something? Mellow out people, thanks for the chuckle though. ---Just noticed the date on last reply, I guess we can all relax...the world did not end. ---And I did find other places reporting his trolling and many alias'.
