  IE8's clickjacking fix not much help, experts say
Time: 23:50 EST/04:50 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

New Microsoft technology designed to protect Internet Explorer users from a powerful new Web-based attack will not fix the problem, security experts said Tuesday.

Microsoft released the technology as part of an early "release candidate" test version of its next-generation Internet Explorer 8 browser, saying that the company had developed "consumer-ready" protection for an attack known as clickjacking. In clickjacking, attackers use special Web programming to trick victims into clicking Web buttons without realizing it. The attack is hard to pull off, but at its worst, clickjacking can do some very nasty things, such as execute stock trades on financial Web sites, change router or firewall configurations, or even force someone to download unwanted software.
