Re: firefox on Linux
True, there are no reports of this yet, doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. This trojan was directed at Windows architecture, however it didn't enther the OS because of a hole in the OS, but rather through a whole in most of the most popular browsers made for the OS. Not saying that Microsoft isn't at fault for their holes in Internet explorer, just saying they are not the only ones at fault here. And although there are holes in the security of all browsers, technically none of them are at fault since, most likely, they weren't the ones who created the trojan in the first place, that person/group is really who's at fault, they just happened to target the Windows OS. I can't claim to know their reasons for attacking Windows, but a good bet would indicate that it has at least something to do with the fact that Windows is the most used OS and thus the chances of spreading quickly are much higher on it, once you find a whole and design an exploit for it.
