wow
"attackers are turning their attention to Mozilla and other Internet browsers.."

Now can you point me to a few ACTUAL hacks, instead of just jumping on the old bandwagon? You do realize that this article was written for feisty luzers like yourself, who will pounce on the silly "opportunity" to say, "see, told ya so! My pistol is bigger than yours! Nah-nah-nah-poo-poo!"

"But, but, but, I thought it was a myth that the more popular a product is, the more it will be attacked and the more flaws will be uncovered?"

Now if you can just explain to me why IIS with a mere 20% market share is hacked a gazillion times more often than Apache you might be able to get me to stop laughing long enough to dry away my tears.

"As more casual, less tech-savvy users adopt Macs, expect to hear more about vulnerabilities exposed within the Mac OS.."

What?! Umm, dude, a vulnerability is a vulnerability is a vulnerability. You mean to tell me you'd have been able to defend yourself better against something like Sasser before a patch was issued than Joe Sixpack? You were just as vulnerable, no matter how funky fresh you think you are. A great driver can still do nothing to turn a go-cart into the Love Bug, eh mi compadre? wink
