Hacker Goes Back on Firefox Flaw Claim

You may or may not have heard, but two hackers recently said they had 30 undisclosed vulnerabilities tracked in Firefox, specifically the way it handles JavaScript. Well, today, he admitted that he didn't. McCarthy hearings, anyone?

 I'm glad to see this debunked, as I felt it would have really hurt Firefox's image if someone had been able to take advantage of it like that.
