La Oficina de Seguridad del Internauta (OSI) ha informado, a través de su página web, de un fallo que permite evadir la seguridad de la contraseña maestra del navegador Firefox. Un fallo que provoca que el cifrado de las claves no se realice de forma segura, permitiendo así a los piratas informáticos romper la contraseña maestra y hacerse con los datos de los usuarios.
Should you panic? Nah. Unless you share your computer with others, the only way someone is going to be able to view your saved web passwords is if that person has access to your computer. If you have a firewall on your computer and lock your home's front door when you leave, your saved web passwords are pretty safe.

Todos los sistemas de almacenamiento de contraseñas son inseguros, precisamente porque almacenan cosas de valor.
