At the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver showed hackers / security researchers how to exploit known vulnerabilities in these three browsers in order to control the operating system.
Firefox and IE 8 running on an updated 64-bit version of Windows 7 Safari running on a Mac book.
The lesson of the year, the conference is that all browsers have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious websites, and is often the way to the operating system.
Another useful thing and take with you is that despite the common misconception that Mac OS X is more secure than Windows, is the fact that the primary reason why Macs are not attacked and compromised more often is because the platform by 92 percent market gives malware Developers a significantly higher return than the platform with a 5 percent market share.
