Thunderbird 38.7: New update due to security gaps

Users of the free email client Mozilla Thunderbird should check the program for updates as soon as possible. With version 38.7, which is available for download, 10 vulnerabilities are fixed – six of them are critical.

These can, in the worst case, open the door to hackers who can easily use security holes to penetrate private and business mail accounts. But also the other vulnerabilities, which are fixed with the update, can make sensitive data accessible, so downloading Thunderbird 38.7 is essential.


Users who have already installed the mail client are performing the update from the top menu bar. To do this, go to the "Help" button, which then opens the "About Thunderbird" menu item. After the update a restart of Thunderbird is necessary.
