Do Not Use Firefox!! Exploit!

    Hello!

    There has been a series of massive hacking attacks since last week. There is a Private Critical Firefox Exploit that is used for these attacks. These kind of exploits are usually sold at extremely high prices. A friend of mine who is a security consultant in Germany encountered an attack on his network. They are trying to understand it.

    Do Not Use Firefox Now. Do NOT open any unknown emails. Do not subscribe to those porn sites or any sites. Your box will get attacked.

    Careful!

    Yes. Public exploits are fixed easily. Private exploits are always kept under the hands of a few and that is why they cost so much. It will take some time to fix private exploits. If you do not know what to fix, it cannot be fixed!

    Absolutely
    And Mac Rules!

    Thanks for the heads up. I don't go on porn sites, open unusual emails, or subscribe to weird stuff. Am I safe?

    The more popular FF get's the more people are going to exploit it. That's why a lot of people are "scared" to use IE

    Maybe this guy wants people to switch to IE because maybe the exploit is on IE and hes trying to hack accounts on here.

    I find it kind of weird all of the sudden (after registering in May) he starts posting all about this 'firefox exploit'. I think its bullshit.

    If you didnt notice, I did not mention any IE.

    Instead of just assuming every single person out there is to get you. You should just get a nice mature brain. :) Not everybody is like you.

    Dont just insult people because you know how to post. I guess that would be a hard concept for an 18 year old. I did not sign anywhere declaring I will post every single day. I will post when I please.

    Good day

    Hmm, if you say 'Dont use Firefox' what would be the next browser that comes to your mind?

    Get a mature brain? Im not sure how my post wasnt mature. I was clearly stating my opinion, does that make me immature? Guess everyone is immature then, since we all have opinions.

    I insulted someone? Please show me... and about the age comment, im not sure of anyone who is over 20 who uses age to make them selfs look good.


    I find it weird how you say 'Dont use firefox, theirs an exploit', provide absolutely no proof/source, and then get mad when someone says 'Maybe its IE that as the exploit and your the one abusing it'. If you dont provide any proof or source, its pretty clear people will question it. Im sure if this firefox exploit was real, it would be on a trustworthy site like Mozilla, MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc. And not posted by some new member.



    Anyways, IE has about a 2000% higher chance of being hacked from an exploit, then in firefox. Use IE for a day and youll have at least 3 adware on your computer.
