Just another round of cat and mouse coming into reality I think..Also I believe Opera was secure against those subjects. :blablabla:

What paperghost said in Post #21: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>this WILL work in opera with the right permissions enabled[/b][/quote] So even Opera wasn't 100% secure. Liz

My guess is this will nessecarily get worse before it gets better. :slap:

Yeah, I know but at least the Mozilla Foundation is addressing the issue with Sun Java which is more than the rest of the browsers are doing. I suspect we will see an update to Firefox in just a few weeks if not less. Liz

I guess this would be a good bit of info since it corresponds to the topic as well

Actually that one is could be considered slander by some in it's slant: http://www.vitalsecurity.org/

Its not often that a security site "attacks" another security site. However, another member site of ASAP (Spywareinfo) has taken it upon themselves to run our name through the mud in their newsletter. Instead of approaching us directly about something they may not have "got", they decided to stick the boot in through their newsletter which goes out to thousands of registered subscribers. The issue is (of course) the story regarding the Applet that bypasses whatever browser you happen to be using at the time, to infect IE (as long as the user is silly enough to click "yes").

For some reason, Mike Healan chose to crack off his wonderful missive without bothering to contact me directly first. Because of this, I will now have anything up to 17,000 people coming here and either

a) Hurling reams of abuse at me without actually reading anything, or

And paperghost published his original article on Wednesday, March 09, 2005 at http://www.vitalsecurity.org/ Liz

It would have been nice if he had gone to paperghost but I can see why paperghost is upset now. Having to defend himself in his own forums by lots of unhappy new posters would make anyone an unhappy camper. Liz

Certainly, Professionalism is a nessecary ingredient and could have done more good than harm.
