Firefox and Opera Take On Malware, Microsoft Likely to Follow
Susan Lesch has a new post up talking about the new security features included in Firefox and Opera. They’re making history in so much they are the first mainstream browsers that are attempting to block malware.
The Web might be the most dangerous part of the Internet. It has surpassed email as presumably the most lucrative target for organized crime. Years ago, the ratio of spam and infected email to useful email peaked where I worked. That week our postmaster discarded 98 percent of incoming mail as junk. In a much wider context, MessageLabs stopped about 80 percent for their customers during May this year. But while scams and phishing will always be with us, people can learn to resist clicking links in email. Criminals shifted some of their focus to the Web, which was unprepared for them.
