Some time ago, experts have been identified serious vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser (Firefox 3.0.7) issued by security researcher Guido Landi, who warned about these bugs to various media for correction.

That is why the company responsible for Mozilla alarmed with this situation have developed the new version of Firefox, 3.0.8 which is expected to correct two major problems identified with regard to security and that this is affecting any system operational including Linux and MAC OS.

The modus operandi was as follows: the user is able to access an XML page and immediately agreed that a software is installed on your computer without permission, this was obviously with bad intentions could check the results later and growing made more frequently.

The experts believe that the newer version of firefox will add stability to the browser, and will avoid vulnerabilities.

This contest will be held at the tenth edition of the annual security conference CanSecWest, a leading security conferences taking place in Vancouver (Canada). The conference will take place between 16 and March 20, will run training sessions and presentations of the best world experts in computer security and telecommunications. The sponsors of the conference will include: Microsoft, Intel and Adobe, among others.

The first contest will test the Apple iPhone and other smartphones 4 offering $ 10,000 to anyone who can break the security of the phones running Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems as well as BlackBerry and iPhone. To gain the award, the vulnerabilities that hackers have used to run e-mail, SMS, surfing the Internet. All appliances will be updated to the latest versions of software.

A second competition was to challenge hackers to break the security of Internet browsers. The most popular are: Internet Explorer 8, Firefox and Google Chrome, will be running on a Sony Vaio on Windows 7, and Safari and Firefox will be installed in MacBook running Mac OS X. Intrusions successfully obtained $ 5000 per bug discovered, that prize is not bad.

Last year it took only 2 minutes to break the security of a Mac OS X 10.5.2, and the author of this epic is renowned hacker Charlie Miller, who not only is responsible for two minutes to polish the whole segment up Safari in the competition last year, but is also responsible for making public some of the most important vulnerabilities of the system not only Apple but also the iPhone of Android, and in general for almost any operating system through the vulnerabilities of the most popular browsers.

Obviously in these competitions, Miller did not advance to where their skills and focus on methods that have been working, but his words referring to Safari, “is an easy target,” it appears that Apple’s browser or iPhone it includes, will be its main victims.

Began betting … What do you think will fall? … Bets are open! (in my opinion, voting iPhone, Internet Explorer 8 and the BlackBerry).
