Comment Thine data is flawed... (Score 1) 560
Let's look at this over the lifetime of the product, not just the last 6 months. If Firefox has only been out for a year or two (for example's sake), 46 potential "exploits" in that time doesn't even come close to the amount of vulnerabilities over the lifespan of Internet Explorer, which is indeed much, MUCH longer.
In George Ou's own words:
It just goes to prove that any popular software worth hacking that has security vulnerabilities will eventually have to deal with live working exploits.
With that being said, the data is flawed and one-sided. IE has been around for a decade or more, so it is a FAR more refined program. This is due to the fact that they've had to deal with those exploits and vulnerabilities for much longer than the people over at Mozilla.
