Yet another reason to use firefox
Wow, I’m going to have to add a whole category for this soon.
I saw this over at osnews:
Ten SP2 flaws leave XP users open to hackers
The article mentions two possibly independent problems both deriving from Internet Explorer. Although they have not released any proof of concept code, I can guarentee Firefox will not be vulnerable to these, first of all because it does not have anything like IE’s “security zones”, and second because Mozilla would have already patched their browser if it did.
I just wonder what it is going to take before management at work admit that switching from IE would do a much better job of protecting the corperate network than requiring everyone to change their passwords every 30 days (grr).
