BBC NEWS | Technology | Serious security flaw found in IE
I like how the title is "Serious Security Flaw...." Aren't they all serious?
I know most people are no longer using Internet Explorer anymore but just FYI.
Article said "What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said. "It's just a question of modifying the payload the trojan installs."
I figure FFXI is probably one of those games, so everybody be careful, we don't need any more stolen accounts!
"If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."
But Microsoft counselled against taking such action. "I cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw," said John Curran, head of Microsoft UK's Windows group.
I think that statement is a little stupid. If people keep using IE7 when there is a flaw, eventually something may happen. To prevent risking something like that, why not just switch browsers until they fix it or forever like some people have done awhile ago.
