Mashable’s Stan Schroeder looks at web browsers and the evolution of security exploits, excerpted here:
Do you remember how, a couple of years ago, you could tell someone who was clueless about computers to simply switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox, and that action alone would fix 90% of all their security problems?
This hasn’t been true for a while now, unfortunately. The fact that Internet Explorer is still the most widely used browser out there, which makes it the biggest target, doesn’t mean that malicious hackers aren’t exploiting security vulnerabilities on other browser platforms.
