Mozilla have announced the release of Firefox 2.0.0.9. A number of bugs and regressions from the previous version have been fixed, although from what Mozilla has published they are not security related. AusCERT still recommends its members upgrade to the new version of this product.

We have also found an interesting article on the Internet entitled "Al Qaeda Schedules Cyber Jihad for Nov. 11". AusCERT has recieved no information to indicate this is a credible threat. However should anything happen on the 11th this may be something to keep in mind. The article can be found here: http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=137875
