Mozilla Foundation, the group that runs the second-most-popular web browser after Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, said Tuesday that hackers broke into its marketing site where users can download the Firefox browser and discuss ideas on how to promote it.
It is the second time in less than three months that the community marketing site, Spread Firefox, has been hacked. The server hosting the community site had been accessed by unknown remote attackers who attempted to exploit a vulnerability in it, said Mozilla.
The attack was limited to SpreadFirefox.com and did not affect the outfit’s main mozilla.org web sites or Mozilla software, Mozilla said in a note to users.
