Microsoft, Mozilla downplay browser bug

Security: "For an attack to be successful, victims have to type the full path of files the attacker wants to download." (from the article)
Anyone who would type the full path to their financial, banking, or personal records, on a website they weren't familiar with or didn't trust, gets what they deserve as far as I'm concerned. Whether one uses Firefox or Explorer, a fool is still a fool, and there's nothing that Mozilla or Microsoft can do about that.
But as far as overall security is concerned, between those two browsers, I'll trust Firefox any day.; Posted by: garfent@... Posted on: 06/09/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
