Well now. No shit.
They should be taking no end of heat for not patching the known IE exploit last week. I HATE their guts right now... TL |

Out of band patch coming to you in three, two, one...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081216/ap_on_hi_te/tec_internet_explorer_security I laughed at the original story playing up how it's most often found on porn sites. What are they trying to say? That if you don't visit porn sites you have nothing to worry about? Or if you visit porn sites, you deserve it? Bizarre. Luckily, I have Firefox with NoScript (cue Ketchum). |

"Microsoft said it has seen attacks targeting the flaw only in Internet Explorer 7, the most widely used version, but has cautioned that all other current editions of the browser are vulnerable"
I have yet to see it in IE7. Every one I've seen (about 3 dozen now), have all been IE6. |

larry, did you all track down where your user's browsed to... to get hit by this?
then did you block that site, and determine why that site wasn't already on your blacklist? |
