IE bug allows full MSN Messenger hijack | |

Among the fun and games one can have with a vulnerable Messenger user are such sports as impersonating the victim and sending spoof messages and spoof e-mail memos to his contacts, and scouring his local drive for interesting files to share around. In other words, you can do anything with the victim's Messenger client that the owner can do. | ||
