As a native speaker of American English (Southern Dialect), I would not consider "breach" to imply the user password has been compromised. If there was a JS bug in FF that caused my personal data (e.g. my .bash_history) to be accessed from some untrusted website without my permission or knowledge, I would consider it a breach of the user account. If there was a JS bug in FF that caused arbitrary code execution as the user running FF thus turning my Debian system into a zombie node, I would consider it a breach of the user account. In neither of these cases can the attacker retrieve my user password. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
