"Apple?s Safari is the odd browser out for no reason in
particular, but as hacker Charlie Miller notes Safari is the
easiest to pop."
Exactly how did he do it? Did he have to enter admin's
password? I consider this to be lots of smoke from people
with an agenda of their own, likely to make money (of
course).
"Firefox on Windows is hard to exploit as is IE 8,
according to Miller."
Ha ha. Viewing history and IE's abysmal security and how it
likely is responsible for the majority of many many millions
of infections through the years, I can't help to conclude
they're just talking nonsense. Ha!
The world's IT is gradually improving, even Microsoft is
trying, and security HAS to become better than it has been
with Windows because we'll move more and more of our
activities, business included, to the virtual world of the
internet.
Windows and IE simply aren't up to the task and
responsibility. Get better or get lost!
