Trojan Exploits Unpatched IE Flaw

onebuttonmouse writes "The Register reports on a trojan spotted in the wild that takes advantage of the so-far unpatched IE vulnerability mentioned on Slashdot earlier this week. From the article: 'The release of a Trojan that exploits an unpatched IE hole has prompted speculation that Microsoft may release an emergency out-of-cycle security patch. Delf-DH downloads other malware onto infected machines changing settings in order to monitor user activity and redirect surfers onto porn sites. The attack relies on a flaw in the way IE handles requests to the window() object.'"
