'Internet Explorer Users At Risk From Major Bug'
"All 4 users have been informed" said a spokesman... ;)
Microsoft has warned of a new flaw in all available versions of its Internet Explorer web browser.
Vulnerability CVE-2014-1776, to give the problem its formal name, allows miscreants to hijack at-risk Windows computers. It's all due to "the way Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated", the software giant explained on Saturday.
The flaw means the browser "may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer".

Well good for them, I'm sure people will still have a go at them but they have done the right thing. ;D
