at least IE can be patched easily when they find a hole
SiriusB said:It is a shame those hackers are so far up their own arses that they wont tell Mozilla what the other 30 holes are.
"what we're doing is really for the greater good of the internet." What a load of garbage. So come on everyone, make the internet better by not revealing flaws in internet software.

The hackers claim they know of about 30 unpatched Firefox flaws. They don't plan to disclose them, however.
Jesse Ruderman, a Mozilla security staffer, attended the presentation and was called up on the stage with the two hackers. He attempted to persuade the presenters to responsibly disclose flaws via Mozilla's bug bounty programme instead of using them for malicious purposes such as creating networks of hijacked PCs, called botnets.
Ruderman said: "I do hope you guys change your minds and decide to report the holes to us and take away $500 per vulnerability instead of using them for botnets."
The two hackers laughed off the comment. Wbeelsoi said: "It is a double-edged sword but what we're doing is really for the greater good of the internet, we're setting up communication networks for black hats."

30 holes, should get them $30,000 each imo.

Bearing in mind Firefox doesn't cost anything. It isn't as if it's Microsoft Office.
But I thought they were acting "for the good of the internet"?Morthoseth said:They could get more than $500 per flaw selling them to the wrong kinds of people.
