Chrome most secure? Not so fast.
 
Hackers beat Google Chrome security

Quote:

At the Pwn2own competition in Canada, a group of French hackers were able to bypass Google’s vaunted security features to take control of a Windows PC in less than five minutes.
Oh my.

if you knew the real story about how open 90% of your stuff is, you would disconnect from the net.

the best security now is "security by obscurity"

Yep, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, they can all be hacked, just like the MAC OS can be too. The reason Microsoft seems the most vulnerable is because people spend more time breaking in than they do with others.

And let's not forget MS is the most popular, making it an inviting target...

Zats what I thought, but I don't trust the outdated stats in my head. I went the extry mile and looked it up. Sure enough, you's wrong, Suckah.

With inroads like they've made, Chrome will be numero uno, as they should.

I was talking about Windows in general...that's what the goal is, no? To hack into your Windows OS...

Oh. Well in that case, scratch Suckah from the previous post.

Just a common misunderstanding. Happens all the time.

This is a pertinent point.

The fact that the user is not using Explorer on the web ignores that explorer and its underlying apparatus resides on the machine. That is the weakness.....in many cases depending on the version.

This is exactly what microsoft fought with the Justice Dept about back in the day. You couldn't uninstall IE on a brand new machine, and they had to give in to the DOJ and come up with a plan for it.......... people just leave it on and move to chrome.........leaving them with explorer problems they don't even consider. MSoft says that is a thing of the past...........who knows for sure?
