A new IE vulnerability

[beam]

To my knowledge, this hasn't been widely exploited yet. But I would be looking for a patch from MS to prevent this.

In the second paragraph, there is a link to a demonstration of this vulnerability. Very interesting.

Until a patch comes out, you may not want to trust ANY link in an email that directs you to www.paypal.com or other such sight.

I tried to view properties on the demo, and it still said microsoft.com in there.

whoa...
but properties (for me, at least) displayed http://www.microsoft.com@zaptheding.../ex01/vun2.htm
so that's good.

I just use Netscape.There's way to many security flaws with IE.
