There are no known security holes in Opera. We released version 6.03 in response to a security issue, but 6.05 has no known security holes.

Subject: Security update -- Microsoft worried about Opera
web browser
I read the promo on Opera at
http://www.opera.com/press/guides/reviewer/
I bought a registered (ad free) version. It's very
impressive and very
FAST. It is also strictly compliant with international
internet protocol
standards (IE is not). Consequently, web sites coded to look
good in IE
may show up differently in Opera. It appears to be the best
designed
browser to date. Very intuitive to use.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft is resorting to unethical tricks
to
discredit Opera. For example, knowing Opera is strict XHTML
compliant,
MS intentionally had placed code on its MSN web site to trip
up Opera,
then publicly blames Opera for being a poor browser. That PR
tactic
backfired when the truth got out.
Users have claimed Opera is immune to the type of hacker
attacks seen in
IE5 and IE6. Is that true? Any Opera users want to discuss
security
concerns?

Mark Jurik
