topBadware.org coalition under Google support has called Apple to review the “carpet bomb” issue in the Safari browser. Nitesh Dhanjani has discovered that in Safari browser on Windows hackers can install suspicious software via booby-trapped Web sites. This can happen because the Safari browser cannot be configured to obtain the user’s permission before it downloads a resource. Safari downloads the resource without the user’s consent and places it in a default location, stated Dhanjani.
