can you be hacked through web browser just by going to web site or logginng in? - flatbread88 - Nov 15, 2014

And how could this be prevented? Will running a sandboxie inside a virtual machine help? I think removing Java will definitely prevent Java drivebys.

Yup, it's entirely possible through drive by exploits

Don't remove Java, Require notification to run Java.

Yes, do some research on browser exploits.

The big exploit packs you can see people selling access to in the marketplace are not much more than big collections of browser exploits.

Yeah like the exploits I'm selling. I'm selling two flash exploits that are fairly recent and still get high amounts of bots
