“Really bad†security exploit arrives
According to a blog today by Ed Bott there is a very dangerous security hole in various browsers, including Internet Explorer, that exploits a graphics setting. The latest version of Firefox seems to be the only browser without the problem. He says
I expect that all major antivirus companies will have detection and prevention for this by the end of the day. I don’t know of any workarounds, but will update this post if I hear any more. For now, use the most recent version of Firefox rather than any other browser and steer well clear of unknown/untrusted sites.
