I struggle to believe that this is the first security flaw IE has ever had.
Why all the press coverage now?
Next week, "OMG virus discovered for pcs"

I think it's cos it's wide-ranging and has been out in the wild for some time.
Not everyone's a smug firefox/opera/chrome/safari user...

Well, it truly is a pile of shite
As a Mac user, I never use the cnut, but I just wanted to give some of you (that still use it) the heads up....

The difference is that this is as-yet unpatched and being exploited.
But no, security in all browsers is an ongoing battle. PEBKAC applies too.

What A Waste Of Breath
that article was.
Didn't tell you any relevant information except "IE has yet another unpatched security hole"
The advice? - Make sure youe firewall is turned on and your AV is up to date. Oh. And don't forget...
Breath in.....
Breath out....
Breath in.....
You know, you could release that article once a month, just change the date, and it would still be relevant.
Fucking muppet. (The journalist)
