Attacks Appear Imminent as IE Exploit Is Improved

,----[ Quote ]
| Hackers working on the open-source
| Metasploit project have spiffed up a zero-
| day attack on Microsoft's Internet
| Explorer, making it more reliable -- and
| more likely to be used by criminals.
|
| Security experts have been worried about
| the flaw since it was first disclosed on
| the Bugtraq mailing list Friday. But the
| original demonstration code was unreliable
| and has not been used in real-world
| attacks.

Fixing the Internet Explorer Blues

,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this week Microsoft announced yet
| another IE (Internet Explorer) bug. This
| one, Microsoft Security Advisory 977981, is
| one of the really bad ones that can allow
| attackers to take your Windows PC over.
| Yuck!
|
| [...]
|
| I think your best move to keep the world
| from sneaking in some malware over your
| browser is to get the latest versions of
| Firefox 3.5.5 or Google's Chrome 3.0.x Web
| browser. Neither is perfect, but they are
| better than IE. I wish I could recommend
| Opera, but I continue to have real concerns
| about Opera's built-in Web server security.
