IE 6 and 7 hit by hack attack code

,----[ Quote ]
| According to Symantec, which has quickly
| tested the exploit code that appeared on the
| Bugtraq list at insecure.org, the code as it
| stands is not 100% reliable but the security
| researchers expect that a “fully-functional
| reliable exploit will be available in the
| near future”. And that means exploit code
| that will enable websites to be infected,
| and any IE6 and 7 users with JavaScript
| enabled to be compromised.

New Attack Fells Internet Explorer

,----[ Quote ]
| The code was posted Friday to the Bugtraq
| mailing list by an unidentified hacker.
| According to security vendor Symantec, the
| code does not always work properly, but it
| could be used to install unauthorized
| software on a victim's computer.
