The Mozilla Firefox browser has warned its users about the dangers that hackers can pose to them. To resolve this problem, the system simply needs to be updated.

Mozilla has fixed a bug that could lead to the use of personal data via Wi-Fi wireless network. Hackers could go to the profiles of smartphone owners or to malicious sites on behalf of users. To fix an existing problem in the system, simply update the browser.

The bug was discovered by a cybersecurity specialist from Australia. He demanded that the company urgently check the data and take action. The programmer pointed out that the vulnerability is in one of the system's components and is a mechanism by which Firefox "opens" other devices for hackers.

The cybersecurity specialist noted that this bug is especially dangerous for airport networks and shopping centers. After all, it is there that the number of users connected to the Wi-Fi network can be in the thousands.
