An other IE flaw?
I've just check The Register now and I've discovered an article that talks about a new flaw on IE:
faws in the filtering technology used by Web-based email services make it possible for hackers to smuggle viruses past defences. Seems that this vulnerability could allow attackers to run code of their choice, simply by sending an email to an unsuspecting Hotmail or Yahoo! user. When the victim attempts to read this email, the code executes to potentially dire consequence (e.g. theft of the user's login and password, seizure of machines etc.).
The problem is from a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability involving IE. So... pay attention and check for the future patch!
