New Attack Fells Internet Explorer
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."
The only people still using internet exploder are people who don't care about security. They have ignored more than enough warnings and deserve what they get.
The rest of the world is already using firefox, opera, or whatever the OS X browser is called.
