IE Unsafe for 98% of 2004
Thursday, Mar. 24 2005 | Author: ScrivsThis is just plain funny.
Firefox experienced the shortest periods of vulnerability due to the development model of Firefox. As for IE…
By comparison, the scanner showed Microsoft’s IE enjoyed only seven days without being subject to any known vulnerabilities, between 12 and 19 October.
Even more interesting is that security experts were more willing to report vulnerabilities to the Mozilla organization than they were to Microsoft simply based on the way they are treated.
It pays to be nice.
