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.'"

Mac users are succeptible to this too!

Oh, wait, we're not. Just fucking with you.
Hopefully both IE slashdot users don't have mod points today.

Now if only I can figure out how to enable popups, disable tabs, and make Safari look all multicolorful and jaggy I'd be one effective mofo.

Wait a second, people are still using IE?

The poor kid is going to have a sore rear end because of some malware and an IE security flaw.

Unless you live in a civilised country, where that sort of behaviour isn't tolerated.
