Zero-Day Internet Explorer exploit found in the wild

by Earl Moore on September 21, 2006


It’s amazing that anyone is still using Internet Explorer. It’s highly recommended that you switch to Firefox or any of the other good, more secure, less targeted browsers.

Zero-Day Internet Explorer Exploit Found on Porn sites:
A security hole in IE was recently confirmed by Microsoft. Now exploits that install tons of adware have been spotted on Porn sites. This exploit is reportedly easy to duplicate, and experts expect the problem to spread quickly to other shady sites across the Internet. Microsoft has no plans to fix this hole until the next “Patch Tuesday”, which is almost 3 weeks from today. Have fun all you IE users…
