The head of threat intelligence at Symantec argues that Mac OS X and Mozilla Firefox users are fooling themselves if they think they’re impervious to attack. Out of 38 vulnerabilities discovered in the first half of 2005, 25 were for Mozilla browsers and only 13 for Internet Explorer. Recent trojan discoveries demonstrate that as OS X increases in popularity, it will get more attention from potential attackers. The Register has the full story.

Nah, I use my mac built-in firewall. I wouldn't trust ANYTHING built by windows. And I was actually just reading up on firefox's holes just today. What they don't tell you is that firefox also allows you do to things BACK to people that you can't do with the other browsers. Once my firewall is on, it's K.O. status for anything in-coming that's un-aproved. Even the damn ethernet connection.
