    I found this on Security focus:- http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/578

    Really I've not read so much rubbish in my life, are they having a laugh or what? The article headlines with "More browser bugs, but less risk?", all I want to know is what sites have they been looking at. If they have only been tracking malicious web sites then I suggest to them to take a sample of security sites instead, why not look at the reports of sla.ckers, ha.ckers, my site or 0x000000 then see how the figures can be skewed that way.

    Security focus consider your RSS feed unsubscribed, I suggest renaming your site to security-out-of-focus with the tagline "We need to clean our glasses". Oh and for the Zdnet "Zero day" blog were this was regurgitated from geez make your marketing rubbish a little less obvious please and do you call your blog Zero day because nothing happens?

    I've had enough of this and from now on I'm going to speak out against it. I don't care what anyone thinks about it, if you don't like what I say don't read my blog. Rant over.
