Microsoft warns of new zero-day exploit for Internet Explorer
- patrickgzill 17y agoDoes this affect people who use Chrome of Firefox? (get the message?)
- oomkiller 17y agoWow, it's amazing that Microsoft actually went all the way back to 5.01 to see if it was affected! I guess Windows 2000 is still supported for security bugs right?
- robin_reala 17y agoExactly. Interestingly, 5.5 isn’t supported any more as it was only shipped with Windows ME, which is long out of support.
- JunkDNA 17y agoEvery time I read about one of these things, it scares the crap out of me as a user and as a programmer. As a user, I always worry that zero day exploits are like cockroaches: if you see one, it's likely there are thousands more you can't see. As a programmer, I worry that the sum of all the micro-decisions I have made on a project will cause some horrid security flaw that I didn't anticipate.
