Comments on: McAfee blasted for having holes in its Web sites

Researchers said holes on security vendor's sites could lead to phishing and other attacks on customers. McAfee now reports most of the vulnerabilities have been fixed.

Ironic isn't it.

"These types of vulnerabilities are rarely exploited in the wild and thus aren't deemed to be severe."

Huh. So MacAfee should never report concern over an OS X hole then, using that logic. ;)

Hasn't stopped them from predicting the falling of the sky for years on OS X, iPods, etc., while failing to offer a product to help those poor, unprotected souls...

"These types of vulnerabilities are rarely exploited in the wild and thus aren't deemed to be severe."

Actually, Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exploits are one of the biggest vulnerabilities targeted in website hacking today. Unless wild is only the MacAfee website?

@ikramerica

The sky is going to fall on Mac users. It's just falling really slowly. =P

I also had a little giggle when I read that xss exploits comment. Talk about an event that proves conclusively that this particular security software vendor shouldn't be in the security software business! Not only are their own websites insecure, but they don't even realize how much danger they're in!

And I once thought this was a "reputable" vendor! LOL!
