As windows iTunes user will know by now, the new 3.1 version of the webbrowser from apple called "safari" is out for windows. After it has been almost forced upon your pc when updating iTunes, it now has a big BIG security hole in it too.
The hole is a web address hack which allows a hacker to “falsify the web address and enter another page or content". This essentially means that even though you see a trusted URL in the browser address bar, the web page could be displaying unauthorised content that could put your PC at risk.
There goes your bank account then. As even IE7 is a lot safer than safari i would strongly recommend not using safari on your windows setup. Opera is probably the safest as it is the least used, and quite good browser.
Apple has to keep in mind that OSX is your friendly neigborhood, you know the kind where you can walk at night as a single woman, while windows is warzone kind where everyone is out to get you. Of course apple has no comments and no patches yet..
