Nothing is safe from evil doers.

They'll do evil no matter to whom, when or where .. they just love evil.

Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus and His righteousness.

Visit only reputable web sites run by reputable companies. Explore new web sites based upon reviews that you trust.

Only reasonably safe browsing is either from a sandbox, a VM environment you don’t care about infecting (always rollback), or a Linux OS. And of course all while using a hardware and software firewall with proper rules in place.

Vupen Security, the French security and hacking company, cracked IE 10

As easy as dropping an egg on a tile floor I would think.

A good example of how adding features that appeal to large numbers of end users, and flashy visual designs, are more important to software vendors than security. The market for browsers demands new features, not security, so that is what we get.

It is certainly possible to write browsers that are nearly impossible to attack, but there is little market for them.

Firefox 19.0.2 was released less than 24 hours after this announcement to fix this flaw.

Pretty fast.

No way...Impossible for OSX to go down. At least that’s what we’ve been told by the macbots and apple zealots.

Of course they were saying that even after OSX was the first to lose 3 years in a row!

Oh well, who ever takes security advice from a macbot is an idiot anyway.

Odd this year they didn’t test safari?

Also it’s amazing that they are saying adobe is the most secure platform this year! Wow they have really turned it around.
