Default IE has flaw of doom

A UK group of hackers has published a zero-day exploit which puts means IE users only have to visit a site to be attacked.

The flaw is based on a Javascript Window() vulnerability which Microsoft has known about for several months. However Vole has been mistakenly treating it as a low-priority denial-of-service flaw, a spokesComputer Terrorist said.

The exploit works on fully patched Windows XP systems with default IE installations and could be good-night Vienna to anyone using the Microsoft browser.

IE is full of exploits! Each month there is a new exploit out! That's why people are migrating to FireFox!
