I have often wondered about where these sites are myself. As to the security debate of Mozilla vs. IE, at this point in time I believe that using Mozilla over IE for security purposes is simply an exercise in security through obscurity which, as we all know, is only secure while it is obscure. Now that obscurity is gone, we are seeing more and more hits on Mozilla. I haven't seen any business advantages to using either one over the other, any way it goes you still have users.

I read articles where people say things like, "experts say that there are almost two hundred websites which are exploiting the newly disclosed flaw...blah blah (FUD?)..," Where do these people get these numbers from and where do they get the info on the malicious sites from too? On a related note--how many people have initiated a move away from IE to Firefox/Opera etc in a corporate environment, due to the perception(is it JUST a perception or reality based?) that IE is less secure/more prone to exploits?
