	==Symptoms==

	Users whose web browsers have fallen victim of a successful browser exploit may find their homepage, search page, and/or favorites have been changed. Other signs include Internet settings options within the browser being altered, access being blocked to specific functions, and the redirection of incorrectly typed URL prefixes.

	==Prevention==

	There are multiple ways users can protect their web browsers from falling victim to a browser exploit. Such things include installing firewall software, keeping software updated, being cautious when downloading files, and not opening email attachments from unknown sources.

	==Notable browser exploits==

	[[JailbreakMe]] is a series of browser based exploits used to [[IOS jailbreaking\|jailbreak]] [[Apple Inc.\|Apple]]'s [[iOS]] [[mobile operating system]]. It uses an exploit in the browser's PDF parser to execute unauthorised code and gain access to the underlying operating system.
