Today 7 (that's right, SEVEN) security holes were discovered by a Chinese researcher in Micro$uck Internet Exploder. 2 of them are very critical.
quote:
The spokesman said Microsoft is not aware of anyone actively exploiting the holes or of any impact on customers.
lol...give it a few days.

Two holes are critical and could allow an attacker to run a program that would delete files, crash the machine or take control of it from a remote location
Any further proof required of the danger of having such a shitty internet browser integrated so deep into an operating system?

No comment :D
inovation at its best :rolleyes:
I was running Redhat close to a year. Actually truthfully more then that I had redhat on and off since 6.0. I switched to slackcware and running about 4 or 5 months (not sure) but long enough. :-D Slack is great trying to install 9.1/7.1 on one of my many/future computers. lol one my old computer instead of windows 95 slack 7.1. I am having trouble though to write a CD that is slow enough for it to read it reads cdr's just k3b thing need to know how to slow it down enough. ;)
Not suprised at all regarding Microsofty products.

More info:
Apparently, Micro$hit was notified about these bugs in September, and didn't bother to take action.
