"Cybercrooks are spamming e-mail messages to trick people into visiting malicious Web sites that exploit a recent Internet Explorer flaw, experts warned Thursday.
The Web sites take advantage of the vulnerability in the omnipresent Microsoft Web browser to install a keystroke logger on vulnerable computers, according to San Diego-based Websense Security Labs."
FYI, a "keystroke logger" is a small application that records everything you type and sends it to the hacker who wrote it, including usernames and passwords at bank sites and any other sensitive site.
J. Riley, you might consider upgrading to Firefox, since Microsoft hasn't even released the patch for this vulnerability and won't release it for another week and a half....
