New Attack Fells Internet Explorer

Posted by Soulskill on from the tricking-an-old-dog dept.

alphadogg writes "Attack code has been identified that could be used to break into a PC running older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. The code was posted Friday to the Bugtraq mailing list by an unidentified hacker. According to security vendor Symantec, the code does not always work properly, but it could be used to install unauthorized software on a victim's computer."

    Maintenance?

    What's that? J/K. That maintenance I can deal with but the annual inspections just so garages can look for something to repair really piss me off. I miss my old state that had no inspections (at point-of-sale and that was it).
