Microsoft: security, some time
How nice of MIcrosoft to warn Internet Explorer users that there are three new vulnerabilities, which it will get around to fixing in its next scheduled security patch, on April 11, on the grounds that they're "limited in scope".
The problem is that the hacking community doesn't have the same relaxed work ethic, and at latest count they'd seeded 200 Web sites with malignant code to exploit those holes.
As one of the victims of this umm, cognitive dissonance, puts it, "IE and me are through. That's it." Good advice.
