1 edit | Microsoft Expoits, GMail Exploit who's next ?
This doesn't surprise me since a growing number of internet user already mistrust using email as it is.
This just gives more proof that email is becoming even more unsafe to use.

Email is unsafe because there are exploits? Riiight.
So using windows or any other software is unsafe too. Doesn't mean anything. |

This problem isn't a flaw in e-mail, it's a small flaw in one provider's BETA account creation system. |

I know, and they're not. And this problem could appear no matter what platform the systems were running on. It's the fault of the programmer, not the platform. |

I understand that but when naive internet user read things like exploits they become even more paranoid and start mistrusting things.
A lot of people on the internet don't understand technical stuff like exploits,virus's, and spyware and that leads to insecurity. This leads people to mistrust email as a whole.

You can blame the following for that:
1) The jackass who decided it'd be intelligent to start composing mail in HTML,
2) The jackass who decided it'd be intelligent to link two completely unrelated technologies (indirectly, SMTP and HTTP) with one another,
3) The jackass who refuses to believe that content is more important than IM-SO-PRETTY-DANCING-PANDA.
Crap like this is exactly why I say the "Internet" has really gone down the sh**hole. Yeah, I'm a bitter individual, but this has nothing to do with being bitter. It has to do with idiocy having run rampant for too many years...

Ask 100 average PC users if they'd rather see a pretty HTML email or a secure ASCII email. Style wins over substance any day.

Well, that would better than running it on a Linux server. Linux servers are compromised more than you think, even more than Windows.

What information? It's a blanket statement with absolutely no grounds...and its a load 'o crap.
At the very least, the word "more" in the OP needs to be defined. More virii? (No) More infected systems? (No) More purposely built auto-run features? (No).
So how is Linux more vulnerable?? |

Re: Microsoft Expoits, GMail Exploit who's next
Sorry about that, busy doing two different things at once. I didn't know that Linux has as many vulnerabilities as Microsoft. How is Linux more vulnerable?
