While I realize the MS toadies are rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of a Mozilla/Firefox spyware threat, this is hardly in the same class as the vulnerabilities suffered by MSIE.
This article gives no evidence that this spyware exploits a flaw in Mozilla and/or Firefox. Rather, it seems to rely on the inattention of the user.
The title/headline of this article is misleading.
A little less hyperbole, and a little more fact, would be appreciated.
