Hackers focus efforts on Firefox, Safari
In a sure sign that they have achieved success in the marketplace, Firefox and Safari have finally become the target focused hacker exploits. After years of flying under the radar this is a new and unwelcome note of celebrity for browsers that were previously touted as safe alternatives to MS Explorer.
Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox and Safari. Though that might make them feel more secure, the shift has also opened new doors for bad guys.Case in point: We have no IE bugs to report this month, but both Firefox and Safari have been hit hard.
So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser, you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to keep current with fixes.
