I wonder how Tor will handle this...

- RcouF1uZ4gsC 6y agoIs Mozilla trying to kill Firefox? Without an active threat management team, it would be irresponsible to recommend Firefox to any of my less technical friends. Nowadays, a dedicated, excellent security team is table stakes for a web browser engine.
- searchableguy 6y agoThey are not responsible for firefox itself but the infrastructure surrounding it from that thread.
- tehbeard 6y agoThat to me reads as the build servers, etc. How is that not responsible for a safe binary?
- fgdfgddfg 6y agoYea they are surely moving to webkit after this lmao, no more funding for servo
- waihtis 6y agoThis is a weird phenomenon I've been seeing in some tech companies - getting rid of security ops people because technically you can link security to other BU's, like dev or even IT. Just looking at Mozilla, there seems to be a lot of security engineers, who are probably going to have to swallow this area of responsbility. Thing is that even in very mature organizations, preventive actions are not and are unlikely to ever be good enough to not have any need for detection / IR specialists.
