Microsoft just published an advisory about a critical security vulnerability in all versions of Internet Explorer (apart from 5 – but no one has that around anymore, right?). |

So if I were a bad guy, I'd post a malware laden website for Haitian donations, and exploit this latest IE vulnerability...but hey, what's the chances of somebody doing this, hah! Never happen right?

The exploit is live and in the wild. Here is a video of it being used via Metasploit:

Firefox and NoScript more than handle this.
Interestingly enough, both France and Germany have recommended their citizens switch from IE to an alternative browser; it looks like tech guys aren't the only ones expecting a massive fallout over this. |
