Hackers claim that by using java script a potential security breach can be caused in the popular web browser from Mozilla, Firefox. As most people (should) know, the 800 pound gorilla browser from Microsoft (Internet Explorer) can be brought to it’s knees in so many different ways that many people warn against using it for normal web browsing. Firefox, on the other hand, is much more secure. However, as anyone that deals with software knows nothing is bullet proof. If this hack does turn out to be real there should be a patch released in the next few days. What is much more of a sinister note is that the announcement came during a black hat hacker conference where the presenters stated that they knew of more than 30 exploits for Firefox. A Mozilla security staffer in attendance asked them to turn over the bugs and take the $500US bounty for each one rather than use them in botnets. The hackers laughed at that and said "It is a double-edged sword, but what we’re doing is really for the greater good of the Internet, we’re setting up communication networks for black hats". Isn’t that just wonderful…
