Microsoft Warns About a Serious IE Security Hole
What's new, right?
"As users of Microsoft products are probably aware, Microsoft releases security updates on the second Tuesday of each month. However, this time there’s a security hole in Internet Explorer that they haven’t yet patched, and it’s so serious that users are advised to immediately apply a workaround fix." -- Stan Schroeder, Mashable.com
In his blog entry, Schroeder describes the vulnerability as allowing attackers infect XP and Server 2003 PCs after clicking on a video link, allowing malicious code to run at the same rights as the user. It gets better: Microsoft adds that they're aware of this vulnerability being exploited.
My suggestion: Upgrade to a better browser (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).
Since March, Internet Explorer Lost 11.4% Share to Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
Quite interesting; Microsoft's browser IE seems to be loosing some of it's popularity, quite fast too.
