    IMPORTANT!!!

    Netscape is INSECURE because it is based on FIREFOX.

    Ben Goodger said so.

    And he promises to keep releasing exploit code to punish anyone dumb enough to use a browser based on Firefox.

  5. Comment - Firefox Update Brings Security Fixes

    1.0.3 RC (Updated) (May 13, 2005 - 11:34 AM)

    Actually, there are thousands of security holes in Firefox and Mozilla. But they are kept secret.

    "The public warning of the security vulnerabilities is evidence that the Mozilla Foundation's products give a false sense of security, says Thor Larholm, a senior security researcher with PivX Solutions in Newport Beach, California.

    "The only reason Mozilla and Firefox have a good track record in security with a low number of security vulnerabilities is simply because they don't tell anyone about them," Larholm says via e-mail.

    "The Mozilla Foundation has fixed hundreds if not thousands of security vulnerabilities over the last few years without notifying the world and without providing security patches, instead they have simply just told their users to upgrade," he says.

    "We have to remember that all software has security vulnerabilities, the only difference is in how we anticipate them and inform the world about their existence.""

  6. Comment - Google Web Accelerator Draws Concern

    This is going to be a fantastic tool for malicious sites. Automatic downloads of virii, malware, spyware, keyboard loggers and porn!

    All they have to do is get indexed by Google.
