IE7 Vulnerability Discovered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

    A security vulnerability in a Microsoft Browser? Now way! I don't see why anyone would expect Microsoft to turn into a security powerhouse all of the sudden, considering their long track record of flaws, especially in Internet Explorer.

    You have to love it when researchers find vulnerabilities in Beta/RC softwware and then hold on to them until release hoping they're not fixed so they can sling mud and/or gain additional notority for the discovery.
