I would like to stress that the website does not perform any kind of DoS attack, it is your web browser that is the cause of any problem that might occur to your computer. Also, it does not "hijack" any browser settings, whatever that might mean. We believe this test suite is a valuable service that can help securing browsers by making people aware that the Java and Flash technologies can be abused. > If you cannot take direct action, please help me find the contact to a > person responsible for this. Of course. The company responsible for Internet Explorer browser is Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/). If you are using a Mozilla-like browser such as Firefox, please ask the Mozilla developers (http://www.mozilla.org/). If you are using Safari, then Apple is the company to contact (http://www.apple.com/). The Flash plugin is written by Macromedia, recently bought by Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/). Your Java plugin is probably written by Sun Microsystems (http://www.sun.com/). Thank you for so vigorously caring about web security. As we say, Internet is serious business. Best regards, -- Sam.
