Title: Internet Explorer 7 Targeted By Zero-Day Attacks
Post by: Legolas on December 17, 2008, 01:14:47 am

Microsoft warns about incrasing attacks on new updates in IE7. Microsoft informs that the same error exists in verions as 5.01, 6 and 8 Beta 2. On curent time noone noticed attack on others explorers than IE7.
Attack start mostly on pornographic sites, but it start groving on other WWW sites w/o knowledge of the owner. Specialists inform that about 6000 sites are infected and still rising. Microsoft works on updates that eliminate that mistake.

Never even thought of it... but I gotta 8.0 and I'm not updating IE at all, it's good to know anyway, I will download those security softwares from Microsoft just incase.
Thanks, Agent.
