New version of Opera released - includes important Torrent security vulnerability fix
Opera users are notorious for not updating their Web browser, leaving themselves exposed to security vulnerabilities. Be that as it may, eternal optimist that I am, I am pleased to advise that a new version of Opera that addresses a security vulnerability affecting Torrent files has been released. Please spread the word and get those who you know to use Opera to upgrade...please... to version 9.21.

Why do I say that Opera users are notorious for not updating their Web browser? Check out the Secunia statistics below:
91.17% of Opera 7 users are detected as being insecure as at time of writing - 39 advisories, all patched (for all the good it does when the program's users don't apply said patches/upgrades):

98.93% of Opera 8 users are detected as being insecure as at time of writing - 15 advisories, all patched (again, for all the good it oes when the program's user's don't apply said patches/upgrades):

12.84% of Opera 9 users are detected as being insecure as at time of writing - 6 advisories, all patched (well, at least this time Opera users aren't sitting at 90%+ unpatched):
