MS is really taking it on the chin right now. This is yet another problem with IE. I think this vulnerability is perhaps the scariest. The fact that a trusted site’s content could be altered right under your nose is very scary. One minute there are links to other good and trusted site, then the link sends you to a hacker’s site. Not good.

I am continuing to enjoy Firefox and very happy I made the switch.

IE vulnerability patched six years ago resurfaces in newer releases and could allow hackers to change content on Web sites.
