Hackers are prodding more and more into popular web browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. They exploit these flaws to gain valuable information such as credit card and bank account numbers. It was often thought that Internet Explorer had the most flaws, but recently it was discovered that Internet Explorer only had 38 flaws while Firefox had 47 and 12 in Apple Safari. Using these flaws, hackers are concentrating more on home computers and end users knowing that they are easiest to attack. If this continues, it might lead to a decrease in online banking and purchasing.
