Responding to reports that Mozilla is planning to implement silent background updates in the upcoming version of Firefox 10, Lieberman Software has warned that the feature could be very bad news on the security front.
According to Philip Lieberman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the data security specialist, while many IT security systems will have to be reconfigured to allow background updates to Firefox - which is not a good thing in the first place - there is danger that hackers could subvert the update system to allow them backdoor access to the users' computer.
