Browsers (and OS) Security News

"Last year's winner of the CanSecWest security conference's Pwn2Own contest repeats his success in record time. "

Interesting results, minding that they were being performed under OS X.

And in within the article:

"Following Miller's performance, a security researcher who identified himself only as Nils ran a successful exploit against Microsoft IE8 running Windows 7 on a Sony (NYSE: SNE) Vaio. "

... this makes one think (again) if the OS plays some part in allowing the browsers to be blasted.

cheers ...

One would assume it has to. As I recall, last year the only system not hacked was running Linux.
