A new security flaw in Internet Explorer is believed to allow malicious computer users to take control of their victim's computer. Passwords may be stolen as well as other important private information stored on the computer. A security adviser stated, "Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer."The vulnerability is said to have existed in all previous versions of Internet Explorer. Other competing browsers such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari are not vulnerable to this attack. Microsoft is not encouraging that people switch browsers "due to this one flaw," that has already compromised as many as 10,000 websites.

xPirate's Thoughts: BAH! If you are using Internet Explorer, SWITCH NOW! I highly recommend Firefox, or if you want a prettier browsing experience try Chrome. This isn't the first major security flaw found in IE, and I'm willing to bet big money it won't be the last! Be a smart cookie and switch now!
Good blog and nice information shared. :).
