Security News:

Welcome to our Mediacast Network channel 'Security News' for our home and business users. To keep you all up to date with what's happening on the World Wide Web. Regarding, security threats in the form of Viruses, Phishing, Anti Theft and Spam. With valid contributions from the World's market leaders in security.

New Threat To Browser:

In November we experienced a security breech on our Mozilla Fire Fox server download service and just recently the main Mozilla Foundation Fire Fox web site has been attacked. I was able to determine then, that there are a number of security vulnerabilities to the latest builds of Fire Fox. This is, as a result of not creating a

dedicated security module in the rendering engine source code. An undertaking that was required when the Foundation members concentrated more on the security in the build. As a result of not doing so, the performance has slowed noticeably and the bundle is now exposed more to hacking and when the browser bundle is being used by the web surfer.

The new threat that I have identified and now announcing to the Web Community. I have called 'Heroning'. The new vulnerability of the browser, enables spy and hack ware to perch and site on your browser and gather data from even the searches that you carry out. Tracing your activity and every move! While the Foundation is trying to resolve the exposed problems. You need to try

and use the task bar address line in the browser if you know a URL rather than a search field. Try and avoid searches. As with 'Heroning' the spy ware is sitting there collecting this information also. Set your Fire Fox browser security settings to clear all data and history when you close and exit the Fire Fox browser software.
