"Mozilla on Friday said that it had removed two Firefox add-ons from its Web site because they installed malware. "Two add-ons in the experimental section of addons.mozilla.org were found to be containing malware," Mozilla said on its security blog. "These were not originally detected with the anti-malware scanning tools that we have been using. We have since increased the number of scanning tools, and will be taking additional steps to minimize the risk of further incidents."" http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/vulnerabilities/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=222700171 pointing to http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2010/02/05/security-issues-with-two-experimental-add-ons/ Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
