Firefox is still the least secure web browser, falls to four zero-day exploits at Pwn2Own
2014-03-17 14:09:23| Extremetech
At Pwn2Own 2014, an annual computer hackfest in Vancouver, Mozilla's Firefox has proven yet again that it's the least secure major web browser. While all four major web browsers -- Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari -- were successfully exploited, for a grand total of $850,000 in prize money awarded to successful security researchers, Firefox was by far the least secure browser, racking up no less than four zero-day vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities, if they were in the wild, would allow a hacker to do just about anything with your computer if you visited a specially crafted website.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) warns that moving from IPv4 to IPv6 is a process fraught with peril, which may explain why government agencies are so far behind their own deadlines for implementation. But private security and technology experts say those concerns are largely overstated, and that a safe transition could happen right away, if you do it correctly. What isn't in dispute is that the 4.3 billion numbers in the IPv4 protocol are rapidly running out.
