Mozilla Firefox is now flagging the Web of Trust (WOT) browser add-on as suspicious and is disabling it by default. WOT works by sending clickable webpages to a central system while the user browses the internet. An audit performed by Rob Wu revealed an even bigger problem: the WOT could execute arbitrary code on any page, meaning the company could infect users with malware or steal their banking credentials if it so chose. Mozilla is now blocking WOT completely suggests it is stepping up its efforts to protect users against malicious activity. To its credit, WOT said in a forum comment that it’s working on patching the remote code execution bug.”]
