Firefox 3 vulnerability, 8 million people affected!
f you were one of those 8 million people that downloaded Firefox 3 the other day be aware that Tipping Point DVLabs has announced a vulnerability in Mozilla's latest browser.
Details are unknown but in order for this exploit to work, you'll have to visit a site with the malicious code and click the infected link. Zero Day rates the severity as "High" and it effects both version 2 and 3 of the popular internet browser. Mozilla has acknowledged the security issue and should have a patch issued in its 3.0.1 release shortly.
With the amount of beta testing that's been done on Firefox 3 it makes you wonder why something like this slipped by?
In the mean time, be careful of where you click and make sure Firefox is set to auto update.
LadyDi, you were right to wait!

Actually 8+ million people may be at risk, but 8 million people have not been affected by this flaw. That is really misleading journalism...
