Post by: JGG on Nov 24 06 02:33
There is a flaw in Firefox 2.0 permitting your passwords to be stolen.


http://news.com.com/Firefox%2C+IE+vulnerable+to+fake+login+pages/2100-1002_3-6137844.html?tag=nefd.pulse

Thought I'd post this for the few nice people in here.

Too bad you weren't smart enough to actually READ the article, because the VERY FIRST LINE SAYS:

Mozilla's Firefox 2 [span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 [/span]are vulnerable to a flaw that could allow attackers to steal passwords.
 
It's not just firefox. Internet explorer is vulnerable too, or are you too biased to admit that?

Do you realize how boring such as you are ? Not just annoying, no - really BORING.
Where did I say that IE was not vulnerable to it ?

Whoever you are, you are obviously not above "this junk" at all; as is obvious from your way of insulting me just because I was replying to someone flaming me... not above it at all, quite to th contrary...
