Mozilla: Firefox Plugin Shipped With Malicious Code

Saint_Michael
This piece of news only affect Vietnamese users as the Vietnam language package was infected with malware trojan called e Xorer, and so if you downloaded this language pack in the last few weeks run a scan and the trojan should be picked up. Although this trojan is only a couple of months old and so I don't think everyone has something for it, but check at your vendors website and see if they have a solution for it. As for the cause of this infected plugin, they assume the authors computer was infected at the time when they upload this plugin to the mozilla website.

How does a trojan get into a file like that before you upload it? That kind of worries me as to how many other things we download can be infected. That also leaves an excuse for people to get out of blame. Great catch though.

Scary enough all a trojan needs is a single HTML file to work its way through. I should have mention that in the part were they had an idea how the plugin got infected. Thats all it takes for a website to get infected is just a single html file and when that user either goes to the website itself or that page his or her computer will get infected.

You would think that mozilla would institute a quick scan before people upload things like that. I know however they say the add-ons are third party. Luckily, I haven't come across any bad add-ons yet smile.gif

  8. Firefox 2 To Firefox 3 - Is It Worth Upgrading?
    Let's settle this matter once and for all. (45)
    I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
    problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
    so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
    been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
    break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
    downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....

    screenshot of it and send it to mozilla. It could be in the guest forum or a members forum but

    No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
    having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
    everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t....
