UPDATE ON ZERO-DAY EXPLOIT ON MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER
I thought I'd jot down a couple of quick notes during lunch as there has been more news regarding this threat. Today Microsoft came out and said it was aware of the security hole in all of it's current and non-current versions of Internet Explorer and is "working on a patch". It can be anybody's guess on WHEN they will have a patch and release it, but you can bet when they do it be marked "critical".
In the meantime, many [ed. - many = more than me and one other person] security experts are saying users should stop using Internet Explorer until the patch come out. The usual recommendations are to use either FireFox or Chrome in place of Internet Explorer 6,7,8, or 9.
'Nuff Said for now...
