Zero-Day Exploit Targets IE
Posted on November 22nd, 2005 by LizFrom the article:
Exploit code for a critical flaw in fully patched versions of Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer browser has been released on the Internet, putting millions of Web surfers at risk of computer hijack attacks.
The zero-day exploit, posted by a U.K.-based group called “Computer Terrorism,” could allow a remote hacker to take complete control of a Windows system if the victim simply browses to a malicious Web site.
Yikes! Good thing we’ve got AVG and Deepfreeze.
This is also a good time to remind you all to not open unexpected attachments to your e-mail. Bad things can happen.
