Here's an excerpt from a tasty treat I got in an e-mail:

Today some security flaws in previous versions of Mozilla's software
were announced. If you are using any versions of software prior to these
listed below, please upgrade now at http://www.mozilla.org/.

VERSIONS PRIOR TO THESE ARE AFFECTED:

Mozilla Suite 1.7.3 (Browser+Email combo)
Mozilla Firefox 1.0PR
Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8

If you are using not using one of the releases above, then please
download these latest versions from the site below, and follow the
upgrade instructions therein. (For Firefox and Thunderbird, we
recommend uninstalling and re-installing these applications.) You
can download them from here:

Let's hear it for open source!!!!!

I said that was an excerpt. Here's the rest of the useful info:

Hello everyone,

We try to limit our alert notices for security patches to those times
when a very severe error has been found in widely used software that
we feel requires your immediate attention. This is one of those times.

Microsoft released their monthly security bulletin yesterday with
information and patches for a vulnerability in viewing JPEG images.
This flaw could allow someone to execute arbitrary code on your
computer, REGARDLESS of your anti-virus software and firewall.

This flaw is extremely serious because your systems could be exploited
merely by viewing a JPEG image in Internet Explorer, as well as several
other Microsoft products.

Specifically, certain versions of Windows, Internet Explorer,
Microsoft Office, .NET Framework, .NET developer tools, and several
other Microsoft applications are at risk and should be patched
immediately. Even though Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is not
affected directly, you may be running other software (like Office)
which is affected. Therefore it is vital that you read Microsoft's
bulletin very carefully and install patches for all affected software:

were announced. If you are using any versions of software prior to these
listed below, please upgrade now at http://www.mozilla.org/.

VERSIONS PRIOR TO THESE ARE AFFECTED:

Mozilla Suite 1.7.3 (Browser+Email combo)

Please consider subscribing to Microsoft's monthly security bulletins:

I never said Microsoft was perfect, but they are the best. And being the best means they are the most used. And being the most used means being the most attacked.

But now you freaks who think open source shit is the way to go have something else to worry about.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

again, if the coding has no holes, they still cant get in, they can search through the coding all they want, if there are no holes, there are no holes.

theyd have to somehow edit the shit... but how would they do that with no holes??

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make noise?

If a frog had wings, would it bump its ass when it hops?

Why the fuck are you asking such stupid questions? If there were no holes to be found, Microsoft wouldn't have any security problems. I don't understand what your point is. Finding holes is what hackers do and now they've found them in your beloved Mozilla browzer.

All I'm pointing out is the simple fact that anything can be hacked. And as I stated before, if Dogzilla was the most popular it would have the bad rap IE has now.
