Code Used To Attack Google Now Public

itwbennett writes "The IE attack code used in last month's attack on Google and 33 other companies was submitted for analysis Thursday on the Wepawet malware analysis Web site. One day after being made publicly available, it had been included in at least one hacking tool and could be seen in online attacks, according to Dave Marcus, director of security research and communications at McAfee. Marcus noted that the attack is very reliable on IE 6 running on Windows XP, and could possibly be modified to work on newer versions of IE."

    The way that _you_ type is _extremely_ _annoying_. You don't have to tack on underscores to words or do anything else to them for that matter for people to understand what it is you're saying. Trying to add emphasis to words in your posts like this is completely unnecessary.

    _I_ am _very_ sorry if _this_ "annoyed" ||you||. I'll "try" to be more _careful_ next 'time'.
