An anonymous reader writes “Wired.com is reporting that the Firefox
browser has been [0]unknowingly distributing a trojan with the Firefox
Vietnamese language pack. Over 16,000 downloads of the pack occurred
since being infected. This highlights a risk on relying on user-submitted
Firefox extensions, or a lack of peer-review of the extensions, many of
which receive frequent upgrades.”
