[HIB]Internet Explorer deemed least vulnerable browser

[newsbot]

Ask the average techie which browser has the most vulnerabilities, and odds are their answer will be "Internet Explorer, of course." Indeed, Microsoft's browser has endured plenty of slings and arrows -- and not entirely without justification -- but some of those projectiles should deservedly be aimed at Apple, Mozilla, and Google. According to a recent report from security company Secunia, IE suffered fewer CVEs (common vulnerabilities and exposures) than Safari, Firefox, or Chrome over the past year. The finding lends further credence to the notion put forward by InfoWorld's Roger Grimes that a product's popularity plays a significant role in how often it gets targeted. IE dominates the browser markets and is thus the major target among hackers. As competing browsers gain popularity, their respective creators will have to step up their security measures -- and they all have work to do.
