DO NOT INSTALL IE 7!

Posted in Observations — by Don on 10/19/06
Less than 24 hours have passed and there is already a vulnerability in the Internet Explorer code base.

This one is nasty too gang. With IE 7 installed, a website can get access to any site you have visited, using your creditials for that site! Like, your bank, your paypal account, your gmail account or your eBay account. If you don’t log off from those sites and hit a site that exploits this vulnerability you will, essentially, be hosed.

Tell all of your Windows XP users now! DO NOT INSTALL IE 7!

    yep yep. Plus, Microsoft is pushing it out next week via Automatic Update.

    I spent most of the morning calling my customers telling them not to install it. They don’t need it anyway since they are all running FireFox.
