Firefox is one of the most popular Internet browsers currently used, and it was interesting to see an urgent update release to 3.5.5 since the latest version has only been two weeks old. The reason behind this update is because the previous version contained a number of errors, not critical, but still rather annoying since they were about grafics mainly. The main new concept behind Firefox 3.5 version is the Private Browsing option – an option that allows no traces of internet browsing and user activity to be left on the useres computer. It can be accessed through Tools menu in Firefox browser.
In Netherland a hacker took advantage of the SST protocols the mobile service of T-mobile Netherlands was using to provide the connection between iPhones and some terminal comands. People who used this service sometimes forgot to change the root password, which is basically same as leaving your car open on the street with keys inside. The hacker changed the wallpaper on all hacked iPhones to show the following text:”Your iPhone has been hacked as it was absolutely unprotected! Please visit link to ensure it’s safety right now!”. On the website the hacker offered the owners of hacked iPhones to pay a €5 fee to get instructions on setting security to optional level. He also stated:”I don’t really care if you pay, just remember that there might be thousands of others who might use your iPhones to send messages and make calls from your phone number after hacking.
