Talking of riskI attended a presentation at Symantec (the anti-virus people) near Reading yesterday where they came out with some worrying statistics:
'During the first half of 2005, the Mozilla browsers, including Firefox, had the most vulnerabilities of all browsers.... 18 of the 25 Mozilla vulnerabilities (ie 72%) were classified as High Severity. During the same period, 13 Internet Explorer vulnerabilities were disclosed, eight of which were High Severity' (etc)
yeah yeah I know, 'fuck off to the talk board...'
