InformationWeek > Microsoft Security > New IE Bugs Open Up XP SP2 To Attack > October 20, 2004: "Two new vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 6.0 were unveiled by a security firm Wednesday that hackers could exploit to bypass security features even in Microsoft's most secure OS, Windows XP SP2.

According to Danish security company Secunia, the 'highly critical' vulnerabilities stem from a flaw in IE's drag-and-drop feature and in the browser's security zone. Hackers could exploit these bugs by enticing users to malicious Web sites, where specially crafted files--including image and help files--could compromise the PC, leaving it open to attack or hijack."

Grunt! Sigh! Migrate to Firefox people. And fast.
